Make Your Netbook Faster

Before we start, you should understand that netbook is not for people who demands on computer speed. It is because netbook is purposely built with lower power parts so that it can meet your basic requirements while still providing you longer battery life. Which means you cannot expect it could run as fast as a regular laptop or desktop. However we can do something to make it run at its full power smoothly. The Reasons Why Netbook is slow and the solution. Now i'm going to share with you several reasons that cause a netbook becomes slow as well as the strategy to overcome them.

Cause #1: Startup Program. One of the common mistakes that most people make when setting up software into their netbook is allow the software begin instantly on Windows startup. This process is nothing for those who have a strong and powerful laptop. But for netbook, a single software may use up all its resources making it become slow. Everytime your netbook is starting, it must spend some time to load every one of the startup software before it can react to your clicks and commands. That's why make you feel the netbook is slow.. So my suggestion is

Please take notice for the special options you can click throughout the installtion wizard. For several programs, you can easily eliminate their startup feature throughout the installtion wizard You may also check out the preferences or perhaps settings section of the program to disable the startup feature. Finally, you can head to START->RUN and type MSCONFIG to end the unnecessary startup programs.

Cause #2: Antivirus Security Software. For some people, they don't and never choose to install any antivirus software to their netbook. In fact this is wrong because the Internet world is not as secure as you think it is. Viruses as well as Trojans are spread rapidly through the Internet. In case your netbook is attacked by Virus, then itwill become slow as well as hard to respond your command. So my suggestion is
Choose a good antivirus software and install it to your netbook.. Becareful and choose the great one since some antivirus software are heavy and also can slow down your netbook too.

I would suggest Norton products to you as they are using the least resources from your netbook and providing the most protection.

Cause #3: Depending excessively on multi-tasking.I would suggest you to start and use your netbook a lttle bit different. It is different from your laptop and desktop. It has less resources so you must learn how to use it properly. Should you aren't likely to use a program, shut it off but not minimize it. A software that is being minimized is still running at the background. Therefore it will slow down your netbook in case you keep opening new program and minimizing those you do not use without closing them.

Cause #4: Using the unsuitable software on netbook. Netbook is designed for you to online as well as do some simple works. Which means netbook is not for you to use any complicated software and games. So please stick to the spec of a netbook and use exactly what it can do. This will ensure a netbook can operate efficiently and respond your orders promptly
If you are ready, you may even consider adding linux in your netbook. Linux netbooks can run extremely fast because linux does not take too much of resources from your netbook.

If you feel that a netbook is simply too slow for you, then you can consider purchasing a new laptop. Laptop has greater processing ability, memory, spec compare to netbook. Of course, laptop also has its disadvantages and benefits. For information, you can read my article about Netbook VS Laptop to find out what is the difference between a netbook and a Laptop.
