SSD for ASUS X401A?

I bought a ASUS X401A for school because I wanted a low priced 14" laptop. Within the first week, it drove me crazy with some of the load times which I'm suspecting is due to the 5400 RPM hard drive. I had thought about picking up a Samsung 830 to put in it, but I'm debating on just biting the bullet for one now or try to hold off for Black Friday deals. Any thoughts?

Intel Pentium B970
4GB DDR3 1600MHz (have seen a video online that they can take 8GB)
 
Here is a tear down video for that laptop. I watched the whole thing last night and the guy does a good job of explaining it. Its not as simple as pop a slot open and insert the new drive but its easier to replace the HDD than the ram. http://youtu.be/xC3cdk1Rxbo

A cheap 128GB ssd would be a huge leap over the 5400rpm drive. The rest of the specs are pretty respectable for the price.
