    Yes, your laptop uses a standard 2.5" SATA drive, and the SSD is also standard 2.5" SATA and will work fine.

    Given the price of the SSD though, you may want to check and see if a Samsung 840 or Crucial M4 are available at a similar price, as they are generally regarded as some of the top choices.

    I did have a Kingston V+ SSD and it worked fine, and was still a very good drive.
