Bought this Acer laptop only a few months ago, thought it would be fast
because it has a 4 core Intel i5 CPU and have been very disappointed
with performance. Been toying with the idea of fitting a 250GB SSD
(c£75) hoping to speed it up but unsure if the benefit is worth the
expense. My thinking is that maybe then the onboard graphics, chipset
etc. would still be a bottleneck.
Should I just accept that I've been the victim of Acer hype and faster
HDD may not significantly improve speed?

Every pc I've put an SSD into it has been an upgrade. From my lowly
TurionX2 laptop using a SATA1.5 interface to my 965BE with a SATA3
interface.
Every time it was an upgrade.

I LOVE SSD's ever sense I got my first 60gb Plextor. I'll never go back
to spinners. Spinners are good for two things. Media storage and backups.
