Corsair LS 240GB is the best one from the given lot the second i would say Tradescend 370 series 256gb (personal tired and tested, great SDD for the price a lot better than the Kingston v300 240gb).

Coming the second question, no need to change the laptop HDD you wont find/notice any diff unless you are doing rendering.

I recently put in a transcend 256gb in my laptop. And it has really sped things up for me.

IMO the best SSD you can get at the moment is the samsung 850 evo/pro versions which i am using currently in my laptop but i doubt you will be able to find it locally i got mine from Amazon.

From the choices you posted i have used the Corsair Force 3 GT SSD and they are fantastic so i would recommend you get the Corsair LS
SSD are perfect for laptops fast boot time snappy performance while opening apps plus you always have a battery in case of power loss so its a win win.

Dont know much about SSD and desktops never used one with it but i do know that loadshedding kills standard hdd's sooner or later but a ssd has no moving parts so maybe its more resilient ? cant say for sure.

    BTW, i started Ghost of Tsushima, and it got me hooked within the first couple of minutes. I already know It's gonna be a memorable experience. This is how you make a proper Samurai game. Not that SJW game Ubisoft is making.

    That's still higher than it's total play length. A 5 hour campaign for a $50 game is downright scammy.

    Consoles were my main platform ever since Atari 2500. But now I think it's not worth it as PC especially with DLSS deliver far smoother performance. AW2 on console didn't even had ray tracing and ran below 30fps. Similar issues plagues DD2 on consoled.

    The cross gen era really made people think 60fps would be a new standard lol

    Welp, done with Hellblade 2. Thoroughly disappointed. Such a nothing burger after the unique experience of the first game.

    I have a PS5 but I am not satisfied with the experience. I am currently saving for a 4080 64 GB rig soon. Bit will wait for Pro if performance improves. This gen has been so bad I don't plan on buying consoles anymore for AAA gaming.

    As per WCCF Tech review, Xbox Series X doesn't even maintain a consistent FPS and sometimes drops into the mid-20fps range. That's unacceptable, tbh.

    Score 1 for game pass. I wouldn't pay full price for this at retail either.

    Just downloaded my first legit digital PC game on GoG at a discount of $8: Two Point Hospital. The same team behind Theme Hospital Two Point Studios now part of Sega. And I am having more fun than most recent AAA games except of course BG3.

    Still, I don't like either Sony or Microsoft as they are focusing more on corporate greed than delighting customers. PC gaming is best of gaming and worth every penny.

    PC Gamer score of 58/100 for Hellblade 2??? Is it really worse than Gollum that was 64/100? Microsoft games can't even come close to high scores of Sony exclusives apparently.

    About the Microsoft (and Sony) debate, I feel both have become too greedy and losing their minds over corporate greed. Personally, I will never buy any console next gen and switch to PC gaming where democracy reins.
