Ideation 8,216 Posted September 24, 2012 Report Share Posted September 24, 2012 You get a lot more for your money with a computer, but obviously a laptop can be carried about. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jackinbox99 41 Posted September 24, 2012 Report Share Posted September 24, 2012 Mobile Phone most of the time like now for example, I'm typing this on my phone. I used to use a desktop but now at home use a 200quid net book. Very fast very light and portable. 250gb hard drive has plenty of room for movies battery lasts 12 hours which is nearly a weeks use. Can't beat it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bird 10,013 Posted September 24, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 24, 2012 A bit of pc cleaning up Ray is needed, i run 2 desktops no probs whatsoever, for starters, download and install, SUPERANTISPYWARE, run it and sit back and be amazed at what crap it finds, talking of crap, heres another good and free prog for you, CRAPCLEANER, from Piriform, and there is a free version which i use at the end of each day on my pcs, compressed air from a computer shop, take off the cover on your comp, or laptop, and blast out the crap, and believe me, the insides are full of dust n shite, one of my desktops is that ancient, i boot it up using a starting handle. but it flies, all the above, with an up to date decent browser, no need for a comp man to check what you can do yourself good luck thanks using (Nod32) and kept out most viruses but that cleaning tip sounds very good Ray Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Nik_B 3,790 Posted September 25, 2012 Report Share Posted September 25, 2012 My Computer as been running very slow, most of the time at night, got real bad it stopped with the sand/glass sign, for good 10mins . Was well pissed off nearly through the thing across the floor . Had my comp bloke to look at it, just incase of any(viruses or ............) he said no prob there .Could be just (broad band) with lot of people all logged on, but he did say next time try using the wifes Laptop lol it might be quicker, if so your 6 year old comp just wore out , know the feeling lol. So anybody ever known the differnce from the 2 . regards the above .? Bird Reinstall windows after backing up all your stuff. If it ran ok once upon a time there is no reason why it shouldn't still work ok. What happens is over the years of installing loads of software the registry gets clogged up. Also you need to check how many applications are running in the back ground. Also you can go to http://www.speedtest.net/ to test how fast your internet is. Is your computer running very slow on everything or is it just the internet? Nick Quote Link to post Share on other sites

unicornleather 60 Posted September 25, 2012 Report Share Posted September 25, 2012 I use mainly my laptop but use my pc with surround sound and bass amplifier to watch tv on. All computers run slow with use, you collect all sorts of bad registry and unused files as well as clutter , I use System Mechanic by iolo worth every penny, it frees up memory, sorts out the registry and deep cleans it, result is a faster running pc like when it was new.
