Samsung 850 Evo 250GB SSD

I was browsing through some online retailers recently and came across a good offer for SSD. As my old Lenovo laptop Y460 is a couple of years old now, it is getting so slow in booting up. It has a faulty keyboard and a dead battery as well.

I was thinking if i can solve these small issues, my laptop still can service me for a couple of years more without getting a new one. As I seldom play games these days, it will mostly used as a spare backup to my desktop. Moreover, the ATI 5650m GPU can still be used to play non demanding games in lower resolution.

So I bought a SSD, keyboard and a new 3rd battery and cost less than 200SGD. And my laptop is energized again. With the new SSD, it is so much faster in operation and booting up. It is almost the same speed as my desktop. I am happy about it and hope it can last me few years before my laptop specs is really obsolete.
