What are the specs on the computer you just bought?
There are a variety of things you could try to speed it up. There could be some simple fixes that would help!

I think just an i3 processor :( I kinda fell in love with the color over the specs... lol. A stupid move :)
What software would you suggest to improve the speed in the meantime?

An i3 shouldn't be too bad for a portable notebook.
I'd download CCleaner and run the cleaner as well as its registry tool to make sure you don't have any built up junk slowing you down. It also has a tool to let you look at the programs that are set to run when your computer starts up. You may consider disabling the ones you don't need in order to conserve system resources.
Hopefully you'll be able to find some ways to make it zippier! Good luck!
thank you @ethansmith!
I changed my mind... I bought hp envy instead, it's super slim and perfect weight!
=)
Great! I hope it works out for you. I'd actually give you the same advice no matter what computer you're using!
Second vote for CCleaner speeding up ANY windows pc
Yes!
Ever since I worked at a computer repair store in high school and the owner included CCleaner in his own Windows distribution, I decided it's a great little program for any PC. I think there's even a version for Mac.
@plepperguy,
cool! i'll check that out soon! appreciate it =)
thank you @ethasmith! that's really nice of you spending a little time helping me, It's harder to pick if you have so many choices ya know? lol
where you from?
You're very welcome! I live in the US. I'm originally from North Carolina, and I worked at a computer repair store in high school, so I picked up a lot of tips and tricks that still work well for computers.
There are definitely a lot of choices now, but the hardware on everyday computers hadn't changed that much over the past couple of years. So that makes it a little easier to pick something out.
Why did you leave NC? Are you near great smoky mountain and the outer banks in NC? I love to visit this someday.. An RV will be perfect to travel around USA! =D
wow, so you are a tech guy ha.. are you having fun on steemit so far?
