test your internet speed. go to speedtest.net to see your upload and download results. for normal web browsing, i would recommend atleast 2mbps down stream speed.

4gig of ram is just the norm these days, you say you have a solid state drive? and its a 2 year old laptop? must have been pretty expensive back in the day.


Computer slowdowns are a normal occurrence through use. this is called OS ROt (operating system rot). Computers are like cars and Rolex. they need routine maintenance.

is your computer a windows machine or a mac?

if windows:

perform a disc cleanup and defrag the hard drive.
go to avgfree.com/pctuneup download it and run it. scan for errors. its a free first time fix.

you might also have some malwares so download malwarebytes and scan your system.

if all else fails. back up everything and reinstall windows. i can help you with this and give you some documentation of you need me to.
Thanks Alfredo,I forgot to mention I`m running Vista and Kaspersky anti virus.
My harddrive is disc and my internet speed is 30 mbps.
