i have Acer Aspire E 15 E5-575-72L3 laptop which i use for my personal use and to learn coding and do maintain documents.

i used macbook pro in my last company and i got used to the speed and performance on macbook.

i am thinking of replacing the HDD in my Acer laptop and was thinking of going for the SAMSUNG 970 EVO NVMe M.2 1 TB.

i dnt have any knowledge on computer hardware, Please help me decide which is best way to go forward.
