I heard that this laptop slows down after months of use. is that true?

I haven't had any trouble with mine slowing down had it since July. Recently though the speaker has given out on it. It sounds blown I haven't had a chance to investigate the warranty yet, but it doesn't really bother me as I usually have it plugged into my car stereo or headphones.

Prior to Jelly Bean 4.3 (Android version released July 24, 2013) there was an issue that the flash memory previously occupied by deleted files and uninstalled applications would not be released back to the system for re-use. 32 GB Nexus users seldom noticed, but this was a serious problem on the smaller capacity devices. With Jelly Bean 4.3, the 'fstrim' command runs automatically while the device is idle, which solved the issue. http://www.engadget.com/2013/07/30/android-4-3-supports-trim-improves-performance-on-nexus-devices/

Just as any device if you dont have regards on what to install (never install software from untrusted sources) and how to troubleshoot slower performance.

I have had no issues with this computer. To date I still think it is one of the greatest laptops I've ever had. I would have preferred it with Windows 7 versus 8, but that's not the units fault. When I first got this, i had some major issues with WiFi in my home. I called Samsung and they walked me through a fix in settings for it and it has rocked since then. If you are considering this computer, do yourself a favor a get one. It is extremely light, may be lighter than a Macbook Air. Everyone that sees it loves it. Nothing it better than a solid state HDD. It boots up in about 2 seconds. So yes, I'm Satisfied with the laptop and Samsung in general. I have had no issues with this computer.

In short, no. I bought this laptop about 4 months ago and regret cutting corners with price. The keyboard is often unresponsive, the system freezes when you have multiple windows open, and the whole system shuts down and restarts at least once every time I use it for extended periods. Toshiba makes great products, but upgrade to their more reliable models by spending another couple hundred bucks.

I'm not sure if there are reliability issues with the laptop I bought or not yet. It seems to be doing very well, I've had it for about 4 months now. Sometimes my touch pad is a bit too sensitive, or not sensitive. Like I'll be typing and it'll move, ty cursor to a crazy point, or I'll try to scroll down a page but the touch pad won't register what I'm trying to do. Other than that I haven't had any problems!

Hello there, I haven't had any problem with it so I really don't know. Please consider that this model is an old model and very slow, I bought it 2 months ago and I will replace it because of this. Cheers!

It very well could be the mouse but before you get a new one change the mouse pad that the mouse sits on. Sometimes they become rough and worn although you can't see it. That would slow it down. I have had other instances where my computer was not working properly at all and as soon as I changed the mouse, PRESTO! everything worked fine. Sometimes they just go haywire or get corrupted in some way. A simple little think that can cause some major distress.

this computer has not let me down. I,have had it for a year. I haven't played too many games but from my experiences with programs such as Sony Vegas an Adobe and more, it runs SMOOTH. My only advice is to be careful with your charging. do not use the charger all the time. for example, using it when you don't need it and while you are on it. once it its fully charged take it out! my battery has lasted me because I have done so. great laptop.

It is a smooth running laptop but as for its gaming performance I can't comment. It's not really designed for it. I use it for work and casual web surfing

I have had mine for several months and I believe it is a fine laptop. No complaints so far.

That's right. I bought mine from Amazon in february and so far I haven't had any problems with it. I was worried since I live in Venezuela and the laptop might break down. I'm writing this review with my Asus. It's refurbished but runs and looks like new.Thank God.

I've had this laptop for 6 months and haven't had a single problem. However, anecdotal evidence is hardly what you need. If people are alleging component failures, it's probably true. Then again, that's what a warranty is for.Unrelated: Cross your fingers that you don't get the Sanforce SSD. I was lucky and got the faster SSD. According to the reviews it makes a huge difference in performance. You won't know which drive you get until you open the box.

Sir,We purchased this about 6 months ago, and I would say this is one of the smoothest laptops, we have ever purchased. May be the Lenovo T400 is better. A good buy any day

No and no! This is definitely not a gaming laptop, it couldn't handle it. It's more of an everyday task type of computer. Mine is still doing great after a year!

I haven't noticed it to be slow or laggy at all. I'm not a power gamer or anything, so if you are that might be different. I've had 6 windows working at a time, and noticed no problems.

I bought this laptop 3months ago for school. It has been exceptional. Only has 1gb of memory so kind of slow. Recommend going with at least 2gb or upgrading as I am about to

Hi SweetNighmare,I bought this laptop for a friend of mine, I will ask if he can respond to your query. Hamza

The only answer I can say is it is 7 years old. My old one was 5 and it just got sluggish no matter how many times I did a cleanup. It is a very nice computer and don't regret buying it!
