3/8/2013 8:38:25 AM Absolutely everything runs slow. I run scans and do routine maintenance on it, but to no avail. I have stripped virtually all files from the computer, but it continues to lag.

10/25/2011 8:42:04 PM This is a netbook so I'm not expecting it to outperform my desktop or notebook, but I am satisfied with its portable size and decent performance for email, web browsing, and light office work.
