Is this computer fast?

Yeah. I've been using it for like 2 years now. It's fast, but it will heat up playing games.

Beyond fast. It's a definite buy. Totally worth every cent and hinestky I think it's underpriced. Buy it!

Pretty fast. So fast that you just clicked it and its already processed. A very good laptop

Absolutely. That's what I have in mine, along with 32 GB of RAM and two 4 GB HDDs. It's really fast.

I don't know what any of that means, but I can tell you it's one of the slowest computers I've ever had. I've got an old msi gt660r and it starts up and runs apps and websites about 7 times as fast as this piece of junk. Maybe it's Win8.1 but if I was you I'd avoid it.

The processor (2.4 Gz Intel Core 2 Duo) is über fast. You can upgrade the memory to 4 GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM, maybe even to 6 GB. Very fast!

Yes, but it was excruciatingly slow, no matter what I tried. I tried deleting programs and defragmenting, along with a couple of other things, and it was just SLOW. I ended up selling it and buying a full laptop.

If you are running it as an internal hard drive it will run a lot faster for sure, the computer will boot up and be running in about 30 sec. at least that's what my windows 7 computer does.

I did not check this out, as the 8 GB is very fast for my home and business use. I don't play games or run CAD etc. I really like this computer.

Yes. Very good computer. Hard drive upgraded to SSD and it became very fast.

Yes and yes. It's a fast machine. But you'll need a graphic's card if you want to play most games. I don't play on mine, but I have a friend that does.

I think it is, but to be honest I regret buying it.... Its extremely slow to load, internet takes forever to load pages, and I have a 90 mbps internet connection.... I'd go with something that has atleast 6-8 gb of ram, and 3rd generation i5 processor or better

Pretty damn fast. It has a ssd cache drive, not sure if that helps at all, but it boots up quick regularly. Less than 30 seconds from power off.

PC is pretty fast. Web surfing will only be as fast as your router if you go wireless. Windows 8 takes getting used to. If you like gaming you might want more RAM.

Not really, mine is really fast even with weak internet conections. And using slow software is surprisingly fast in this computer. Mayve you have some software issues?

It would work, but it's kind of slow - even when doing things like just web surfing and opening files. You could spend a little more and get something with noticeably better performance, and you would be happier. But if this is all you can afford, I think it's not a bad choice.

I7 is amazing and I'm not sure about specs for older but mine is really fast because it's 8 gigs of ram. I believe it's around 3.7ghz. I prefer newer up to date items as well because of bug fixes. I'm sure you could find a c
