Excellent points!  I don't have details of the replacement drive from
them yet -- the hard drive they are replacing is 500 GB and so large
enough to be useful as an external...  I'll hit Amazon for that case...

An SSD will give new life to an aging laptop, provide a huge
performance boost, and is a no brainier.You don't say what size drive
or who the manufacturer is. By way of comparison I upgraded my 08
dual core ACER a couple of months ago to a Samsung EVO 500GB for :
$207.99. Replacing a laptop hard drive is extremely easy and I am
sure you will find an instructional Youtube video about this. Make
sure they send you back your original hard drive that you can put it
in an external USB3 case.. I just bought one of those at Amazon for 10
bucks.
