There are many reasons that can cause Laptops to slowdown, which often seem more susceptible to slow performance than their more bulky desktop cousins. The biggest problem laptop users face is the amount of processing power required to keep everything running smoothly.

So in your next post, include info on how much RAM you have. (Ccleaner will have that info at the top of the program, see below)

When we type a web address in our browser [like www.google.com] and hit go, the request goes to our local ISP servers who translate that domain name into a hard-to-remember IP address [like 66.102.7.104]

While this address resolution mechanism is transparent to the average internet user, it can sometimes be the main reason for slow internet access if the DNS servers of your ISP are acting choppy or not working at all.

To overcome these problems, you can consider changing your DNS server name to a more reliable but free service called OpenDNS. There’s no software to install, just a small tweak in your internet connection settings.
