I have an Asus U45JC-A1 Laptop and had it for a few years already.
Amazon.com: ASUS U45JC-A1 14-Inch Thin and Light Laptop - Up to 10 Hours of Battery Life: Computers & Accessories (http://www.amazon.com/ASUS-U45JC-A1-14-Inch-Light-Laptop/dp/B003WIYMA6)
Its specs are
Windows 7 64 Bit
I3 M370 Processor @ 2400ghz
4gb ram
5400rpm
It seems to have 298gb total on my hard drive when i check my computer but i almost never have more than 50gb used up so i always have over 200 gb that is free. I don't have much stuff on the laptop. The last year or so, the laptop has gotten extremely slow. It would also freeze a lot and i would need to press control, alt, delete to unfreeze it and even when I do this, the laptop freezes a good bit. I read how getting an SSD would make your laptop much much faster.
I plan to be using it for pokerstars 24 tabling along with HEM and Tableninja. I used to play on laptop very sparingly back then but with HEM/TN on because i would usually play on my faster desktop. At that time, i rarely play that many tables. Can someone recommend me what SSD to get? I remembered a few years from looking at the HEM forums that if you want to use HEM and Tableninja and not have much lag, 7200 rpm or SSD was essential. Even on my desktop, HEM would lag when i look at the reports. My laptop is of course a 5400rpm. I also recalled back then that ssds were so expensive where very few ppl got bigger than a 64gb ssd correct? But since prices of these went down, so many ppl have 250gb and 512 gb ssds?
Can someone recommend me an SSD drive for this laptop through amazon? Would i need 120gb or 250 ssd drive? I plan to be 24 tabling stars and running HEM and Tableninja and will be playing tons of hands and don't want any lag. But besides that, i want my laptop to also stop freezing so much. I think for someone like me that doesn't keep much stuff on the laptop as i have only 40gb used up out of 300gb on my laptop, that something like a 120gb would be more than enough for it? But f i want something for long term, its probably best to get the 250gb just to have extra storage? I dont want any external drive etc just want everything on the laptop. I also don't want a situation where if my computer is full in the future, then i have to get another ssd to replace the 120gb one. So i think 250gb should be the perfect one?
This is what im looking at.

Also is there a big difference between this samsung 840 vs the 840 pro? I assume me just doing my 24 tabling on stars with HEM and TN on and music played with the 840 would be perfectly fine and the 840 pro wouldn't really make that big of a difference for the HEM?
And does anyone know if this ssd will be compatible with my laptop?
