Yes, if it has a 2.5" or a 3.5" this is the drive for you. 3.5" desktops may require a mounting bracket to be used with this hard drive as it only can be mounted in 2.5" bays.

If that model was built before 2010 no. If your computer can go up to at least 8 GIG of RAM and you are using at least 4 GIG, it should work. Don't forget, format it in the laptop it's going into if it is a bare-bones drive.In the box type in C:/format Unavailable will come up without formatting. Last, you can pre-format the drive first with any computer, then put it in, the computer will see the drive and not give you unavailable. 

The CPU/main processor on your model should be running at 1.2 Ghz quad core, windows 8 or higher, for a 7200 RPM drive to work. I Have never seen a 7200 RPM drive work in anything less than the above. And yes my dual drive laptop, win 7 could not handle the heat of the drive at that speed. 

Recap: Windows 8, quad core 1.2 Ghz or higher, using 4 GIG of ram upgradeable to 8 GIG. 

Only High speed dual core running 4 gig of ram 2.0 Ghz CPU will work. A Win 7 with 2 gig of ram dual core will not work.The motherboard was never designed to handle the through-put/speed.

Not IN the laptop. These are connected via USB cable.
