Yes, any standard SATA interface SSD will work fine in place of a HDD... and it does make a difference!

No. You'd need something to install the A10 into, like a whole other computer.

No AMD laptop chip is fast; if you want fast you want an Haswell i7 4700MQ minimum laptop which is out of budget. And no, you can't it a desktop APU into a laptop.
