Ok so i recently got myself a new laptop, its a Asus Eee 1080PC and yah its not the best but its perfect for me, its tiny  and perfect for writing school work or watching videos on, tho the on board wifi is a bit shit so i have a dongle right now :/ well for now i want to throw an SSD into it for some extra speed, not that i think it would be that much of a difirance but i wont hear the HDD in it clicking away, because im really annoyed by it. i dont have that much of a budget for this but i want to get maby 250GB or so, so whats the cheapest i can expect it to cost me and what should i get? thanks for any help and any replies :D

I spent $2500 on building my PC and all i do with it is play no games atm & watch anime at 1080p(finally) watch YT and write essays...  nothing, it just sits there collecting dust...

Builds:

The Toaster Project! Northern Bee!

 

The original LAN PC build log! (Old, dead and replaced by The Toaster Project & 5.0)

I have both of these 

http://www.amazon.com/SanDisk-Plus-240GB-2-5-Inch-SDSSDA-240G-G25/dp/B00S9Q9VS4/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1457016508&sr=8-1&keywords=sandisk+240gb

http://www.amazon.com/KINGDIAN-Solid-State-Upgrade-Desktop-Advertising/dp/B00W2Z8GRA/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1457016520&sr=8-1&keywords=kingdian+240gb

 

The Kingdian one is a little bit slower but still much much faster than the hard drive. I'd recommend going with the Sandisk one but the Kingdian one isn't bad if you want to save a couple bucks.

Yeah, I usually buy online for the price benefit but I sometimes check out stores because I can't stand waiting 3-5 business days.
