Looks like it would work. but i did find something saying that laptop only has sata II not sataIII so it may not be able to take advantage of the full speed of an ssd. I'm NOT saying you shouldn't do it, just saying don't worry about spending big money on the fastest thing you can find. Most of the benefits you'll see are in the random read/write speed.
You can go into one of the system settings and change that. When my Lenovo was delivered it required a password when booting. I went in and changed that to "no" password. Just a matter of choice.
