lenovo s12 with Corsair Force LS ; CSSD-F120GBLS

[Master_C]

Hi guys,

I bought a lenovo s12 at Dec. 2009, and I consider buying a Corsair Force LS CSSD-F120GBLS for it.

Is it worth the efforts consider it is now slow like an old comodo64 ?

Thanks

I personally don't think its worth it to upgrade it. Based on the specs it has its not like its gonna go amazing after upgrading it, and all you'll really benefit is just cutting down the boot time by a bit. Have you considered trying to reformat the computer to speed things up if its going slower than Obama's election promises.

Personal opinion, laptops are really cheap nowadays, even base models for day to day use are under the $400 mark, and they would blow away that laptop right now.

Hi, already tried defragmentation, so reformat will give me much better than that? Of so, then I'll do it...

The problem with a new comp is that here every thing is much expensive than in the US... :-(

Yeah outside of US/Canada, electronics are bloody expensive like in Australia/Europe/Middle East, ironically despite almost all electronics being made in Asia, nothings cheaper there and usually their specs are lower (went to China/Hong Kong/Vietnam over the summer). A lot of people end up resorting to 2nd hand sometimes or ordering from outside the country and voiding the warranty.

While defragmenting sometimes helps, reformating clears everything off. If your computer used to seem fast like when you got it, thats the speed you get.

SSD can make a pretty substantial difference.

Dustin here wrote this article showing the before and after of swapping out the stock HDD with an SDD in a ThinkPad X140e:

Memory didn't do squat really, but SSD helped improve battery life and PC Mark scores.
