The SSD is compatible. Hard to say why the laptop is so slow. The A8 processor should be adequate. Upgrade from 4 to 8 gigs RAM might be a good idea, too. Before spending money on upgrade hardware, however, I would run a complete hardware diagnostic test in the UEFI diagnositcs by tapping esc or F2 as you power up and proceed to "diagnostics" and run all the tests.
