Lewis Posted May 22, 2011 Share Posted May 22, 2011 Your help please oh Omleteers... Got a new netbook the day before I came to Uni (laptop was in repair) and it can be sooo slow already! ... to the point that I want to take it back and complain! I know its going to be slower than my laptop but not this slow! Its got AVG anti-virus, only a photos and coursework - no music or films that would waste loads of memory. I use Internet Explorer atm and its normally fine for everything else but decides to crash sometimes and its really slow on Facebook chat and Hotmail. Literally takes 10 mins to open an email, have to sign in and out a few times and it'll eventually work So, those of you with netbooks, which browser do you use? Ta!

Space Chick Posted May 22, 2011 Share Posted May 22, 2011 Not a net book, but when I had my old slow laptop, I found firefox better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chucky Mama Posted May 22, 2011 Share Posted May 22, 2011 I have google chrome and firefox on mine. I have both as I regularly use a website that is not compatible with chrome and I prefer chrome as my default. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam Posted May 22, 2011 Share Posted May 22, 2011 Definitely Chrome. Sooo much quicker than Internet explorer and firefox! (Well it is on mine) And it looks a lot better too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lewis Posted May 22, 2011 Author Share Posted May 22, 2011 We've all been moaning about it thinking it was our laptops but now think its Uni doing something dodgy with the network! Still, tis worth a try changing it - thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bostock422 Posted May 24, 2011 Share Posted May 24, 2011 it depends on what your netbook can use, there are lightweight browsers out there but you'd have to look. DONT use IE, use firefox 4 or chrome for speed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
