I'd just get a better laptop personally.

Most likely its going to make a very large difference of the general speed of the note book with booting and application opening but the CPU is still going to be a bottleneck when it comes to 3d applications and even with online video it may still chug but for email and word use a ssd will improve the speed of the applications. I put a SSD in a notebook with a similar HDD that is found in net books and it made a huge difference.

its mainly going to improve boot times. You'll have to decide for yourself if its worth the money.
