Shall I put an SSD in it?
Q1. How much USED space on current disk?
Q2. Memory. Depends how much stuff you like to have running at once. e.g. if you like lots of tabs in your browser and/or lots of docs and/or lots of pics then go for 8GB. Othwerwise donn't bother.
Battery. Any well reviewed UK battery site.

I google the spec and it shows it support up to DDR3 1066, which is PC8500, not DDR3 1333.
CEX sell it for £20 :eek:
May be you can ask them why they sell the faster on cheaper:huh:0 -
yes. "that" is the one I refer to .0 -

It shows that because at the time of release, all they had was PC3-8500/DDR3 1066 MHz.
Of course newer RAM is backwards compatible. DDR3-10600 (PC3-1333) will be fine.0 -

I should mention that whilst DDR3-10600 isn't a limitation, the amount of chips on the module is. You need 16 chip modules as far as I know. Check what is already in there.
