Hi,
I'm considering buying an Alienware 17 laptop on a budget but I saw that it includes a 1 TB 5400rpm hard drive and not an SSD drive. I upgraded to SSD hard drives in my desktop awhile and have no desire to go back to a standard drive but I don't want to shell out $300 to pick the configuration that includes an SSD. I was thinking I could buy the Alienware 17 with the standard drive but buy an SSD along with it and upgrade it myself. My question is how hard is it to install an SSD in an Alienware 17? Do I just have to slide the old drive out and the SSD in or do I have to open the whole thing up and do major surgery?
Thanks
