    It's what I do and yes you can live with 120+gb with ease and actually even a 64gb could work but you can get a great 128 Crucial M4 SSD for under $130.00

    SAMSUNG MZ-7PD128BW - Newegg.com

    Crucial CT128M4SSD1 m4 128GB SATA 6Gb/s 2.5 Solid State Drive - 128GB, SATA, 6Gb/s, 7mm, 2.5 at TigerDirect.com

    Vantec NexStar CX SuperSpeed 2.5" SATA to USB 3.0 External Hard Drive/SSD Enclosure (Supports 7mm, 9.5mm, 12.5mm HDD/SSD) - Model NST-200S3-BK - Newegg.com

    Moving to a SSD will rock your world and with a larger SD card you can have the best of all worlds in a truly mobile platform and then when you need massive storage you have the USB external drive or go the cloud and use the drive for a additional back up device.

    Well played on cleaning out laptop, anyone with one should take a look at the intake areas and treat them gently with a nice vac for short bursts, while unplugged/no battery in, of course.

    Daring folk could pop them open and check out under the keyboard as well, search on that if you dare.

    We have 2 laptops and both with 2 fan stands that get power off of USB, doesn't require much, and have had zero issues with either of them, yet....

    If you watch temps and it ever spikes, you know what's likely going on. :)
    Good old dust bunnies.... desktops aint immune, check'em!!!!!
