Anybody have issues with this lap top going super slow? Like the old days of dial up with AOL? My computer is so slow and it freezes all the time.

Mine is not slow, lots of other issues though am researching other laptops to replace this new one. Scan for viruses often and delete your cookies and history. Good Luck!

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?

I have not experienced any issues with slowness on this laptop. Mine is extremely fast.

My computer does not go slow but it does lose connection with the internet alot. I have to reconnect it alot when I am on it.

Dang. Now that u mention it, mine run slow, too! I was thinking it was my U-Verse service. I have been a staunch HP fan; refusing to buy any other brand. This one I hate. I hate Windows 8 and the slow factor. I didn't buy the extended warranty with this one. Wonder if I should...???

I have had mine a week also --- had it hooked up once only took 5 hours. Then I unplugged it to put it where I was to used it and haven't been able to get it up and running wirelessly since. Had the same issue with hp4680 which I sent back for this one and now I am sending this one back. NOTHING should be this hard ....glad you haven't had any issues because it is very frustrating when you do. I have Vista 64bit and I don't think it works so good with it.

Gerald, I own this product and have had no problems. Yes, it is slow on some projects. I'm sorry but I really can't answer your question as I am not that computer savvy.

We had an issue connecting and maintaining our network connections. I'm not sure what the specs were but I ended up contacting Dell and with a few members we eventually rectified the problem. Recommendation? I would contact Dell if you have not already.

it does lack of speed sometimes, and i hate the pre installed adwares and windows 8... it doesn't really seem to be so good as they make it look. BUT NO, I DON'T HAVE THE LID PROBLEM.

I haven't had a bit of a problem with my computer, The best one I have ever had. Send it to the Mfg and see if they can fix it.I'm sure Amazon can help you with that. Might be a bad bunch.

We have really not been happy with our ASUS. I find it slow and difficult to use. My older son has one that he really likes.

I have had my system since last august. I have had no problems with the computer or software. I keep it in sleep mode, only rebooting occasionally. I use it to stream to my tv over the HDMI and at the same time use the computer for internet and general purpose. It runs without lag when the virus scan is running as well. I don't really use it for gaming so I can't speak to that, but Google earth runs well on it.

My HP has a lot of lag to it. I have PS elements 12 on mine and it works fine, but I save regularly in case it freezes up.

I had same problem. Garbage.. I read that it needs updated. But you have to buy the hardware to update it or know someone who has it. I gave up.

I don't know why it would slow down - lots of traffic thru your provider, maybe, when more people are off work & online? As far as how long the modem should last, I never had one last more than 1 year & a few lasted much less. I finally bought an Apple Air-port, more expensive initially but cheaper overall than the several PK modems I went thru. Sorry I can't give you more info.

hello, yes, I had updated on line awhile back, it took all night, was slow only because of our connection here in the forest. The update was free. But, it was worth it, definitely had some improvements that helped me with using WINDOWS 8 system.

It'Lloyd freeze than restart. Although, if it gets stuck then it's pretty easy to reboot. We use ours in Spain and the Internet speed is way slower than US and rarely do we experience problems.
