The main use of the laptop is working with documents (MS Office 2013), surfing Google Chrome.
OS - Windows 7.
Memory installed 8 GB.
Will there be a speed up? Or just wasted money?
And the second question - what is the best way to manage - put the system on the disk or place the cache there?

For documents, it probably doesn’t make sense
to boot the system and the office faster, but you won’t see anything supernatural
from the pluses, only the laptop will become 200 grams lighter and it won’t be scary to drop

There are several pluses:
1. The system will boot 3-4 times faster, Windows 8 in 5 seconds
2. All programs, including the office, will start instantly
3. Power consumption will decrease, the battery will last for 10 hours
IMHO - I would buy it;)

Worth it, just for office work. All documents will open almost instantly. After you work with SSD - from machines with HDD will turn back. At home I have a laptop with an SSD (just mSATA), at work - with an HDD. At work, I turn on my laptop and go to drink coffee. Everything takes a very long time to load, although the laptop is brand new. At home, I turn on the laptop and after 20 seconds I'm already working in the browser.

Sorry for the offtopic, but since when has a Core i3 / i7 machine for $800-1100 become a budget car?
In fact: still worth it. I use a really budget laptop (Pentium b940 / 2gb ram) at work, far from productive tasks, mainly web surfing, several administrative snap-ins for WinServ and remote work back and forth. I often encounter machine freezes due to a huge disk queue. After installing the SSD, the laptop began to work almost as well as the MacBook of two years ago in the household.

Of course it's worth it, I put myself on my mother Gigabyte Z68AP-D3 mSATA 64GB, hung Windows and everything flew at times. And the fact that they say that the rewrite cycle is low for an SSD is somehow all the same to me.

In general, I made my instructions for installing an SSD in Lenovo laptops without removing the native HDD. And I recorded a video about installing an SSD-shnik, I just have a Lenovo laptop. This method can also work with laptops from other manufacturers, the method is the same. Go ahead!) In Word and PDF, I threw it off (so as not to throw it on dubious file hosting services) to Yandex disk https://yadi.sk/d/XZt_fK-S0xxtUw and to the Mail.ru cloud https://cloud.mail.ru/public /5ivL/HXAqNvCX7
