It is worth the upgrade

[Ghen]

Hello all, 

I currently own a vaio laptop, with the following specs

Processor Type Intel® Core™ i7-2670QM Processor Technology Quad Core Processor Speed 2.20GHz1 with Intel® Turbo Boost Technology up to 3.10GHz2 Processor Cache 6MB Display Screen Size 16.4" Resolution 1920 x 1080 Display Technology Full HD Backlight Technology LED Memory Installed Memory 8GB(4GB + 4GB) Memory Type/ Speed DDR3/1333MHz Max. Memory 8GB Graphics Graphics Processor NVIDIA® GeForce® GT 540M Graphics Video RAM 1GB dedicated5 Storage Storage Type Serial ATA Storage Capacity 500GB4 Storage Technology 7200rpm

It is worth to upgrade the HDD for a SSD? or would be better to bought a new one. would be only used for like league of legends and light games for LAN partys

540M won't really get you good gaming performance

League will run on an Intel 4000 series laptop I have. It doesn't take much to league.
If it still plays league with acceptable frame on a 540m, however old, might as well use it.
You'll like being able to pay on something greater than min graphics, though.
The SSD wont really help with graphics, only boot and load times.

If you can take the frames you are getting then a ssd will be a nice little boost wont affect games but the laptop will be more snappy and lots better on boot and load times. You will get a slight boost in battery life aswell.

Battery boost is 20 mins or so

for games, no

for boot time and responsiveness, hell yes

 

i upgraded my laptop to ssd and could never live without one now lol

Well yes my main problem is the load times and boot times of the laptop I only use that machine when I go to play with friends but, it is worth the update for a laptop that old or could It be better to save the money and get a newer laptop
