    What are the specs on it?

    Two things that you normally can upgrade would be the RAM and CPU, but this is if you can get to them and Samsung usually makes it a real pain.

    Just a SSD will cause it to perform faster with the 'feel'.

    Upgrading to an SSD will make the largest perceivable improvements to your system as software loading time will decrease substantially over the slower mechanical HDD.

    Why didn't you order a faster laptop if you wanted a faster one? Issues like that are always better solved before you buy, not after...

    Since the SSD upgrade this is by far the first laptop that's faster than my PC!
