How do I remove the HDD and install a SSD from our new laptop please?

[soarwitheagles]

Hi again!

After waiting over one year, I just found a killer deal on this laptop:

ASUS K55A-BI5093B Laptop Computer - 3rd generation Intel Core i5-3210M 2.5GHz, 4GB DDR3, 500GB HDD, DVDRW, 15.6" Display, Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit.

I would like to remove the 500gb HDD and install an Intel Cherryville 180gb SSD.

Two questions:

1. I believe I will see a marked improvement in speed and performance by installing a SSD in the place of the HDD. Am I correct in assuming I will see a wonderful difference?

2. How exactly do I accomplish this feat? I've done it lots of times on desktops, but never on a laptop.

Can you please help me?

Thank you,

Soar
