I've found that an SSD is significantly better for most "store bought" computers/laptops.

They advertise "gigahertz", RAM, drive space, and sometimes screen size.

So everything else is left to the cheapest possible part. Updating the 5400 RPM HDD to an SSD has completely changed every single laptop a family member has brought me as "too slow to use".

I've also found it's damn near impossible to buy a cheap laptop with an SSD.
