My laptop has decided being slow is very 'uncool' (because it overheats!) and now is lightening fast. It seems I spend most of my time trying to make it faster by downloading new pieces of software, altering my settings and shouting at it. I recently bought a readyboost 4GB USB drive which is working wonders on my girlfriend's laptop, it didn't do much on mine so I bought Windows 7; now that I've settled into the new operating system I'm noticing some mind-blowing differences. Notably the difference in my wallet, although I bought the update with 57% off (offered by amazon.co.uk) it still stung the savings account. Why did Windows charge us for this upgrade, which is overdue and meant to fix Vista?
The amount of stress relating directly to my laptop is incredible; the best ideas I can suggest to speed up your life is a readyboost enabled stick, cleaning up your desktop and gadgets, configuring your start-up settings through (Windows Button + R) and typing MSCONFIG.EXE, find the start-up tab and untick things like Skype, MSN... (things you really don't need when your computer is just starting up.
At the moment I use my laptop for university work, blogging, checking the news and doing family research. What would be really useful right now is two extra large screens on either side of my laptop so I do much work at the same time, one thing at the time is just not good enough!
