When buying a new laptop

[DEE9299]

Should work fine, but since I wouldn't want to take a chance of leading you astray, go to the Apple Menu --> About This Mac --> More Info. Under the hardware section there should be a Serial-ATA section, and a hard drive should be listed there. Post the name and model number listed there.

What is a 'good price?' Historically there has not been a huge difference in pricing on these drives, so be sure it is legit.

Here is the info from About This Mac .......

Looks good - it's a SATA 1.5 drive - I'm not sure if the drive will be limited to SATA 1.5 - someone who knows that model computer better would have to chime in. Even if it was, and you couldn't take advantage of the maximum speed available by the SSD, it's still worth it - I have one in my Thinkpad that is limited like that and the speed is still remarkable.
