    Get the 250gb ssd and buy a 1tb portable hard drive for saving all your files too.

    1tb portable hard drive is less then 70 quid.

    Of course. Any sata based laptop will support an ssd. You will love it. Have been using ssds for about 6 years and would never go back

    I guess you could check how much commission you made with your affiliate link, Mr. Amazon Associate :D.

    Not Odhran O'Mahony of Waterville, Co. Kerry then? Regristrant for BeginnerGaming.com for which you posted the affiliate link in the OP?

    Just a coincidence I suppose, making money for Odhran?

    Lots of affiliate links appearing here recently though so you're not alone?

    :D
