Laptop Efficiancy

[natz65]

So, I have a Toshiba 2007, and when I first bought it, it ran real fast and it had a battery life of 1 h, 30 minutes. Now it takes a minute to load anything and it has a battery life of 20 minutes.

I've tried deleting stuff, but even when I have 70% free space on my hard drive it still runs the same. Any help people?

My laptop is screwy, used to have 3 hour battery life, now only 1 hour.

My laptop dies if it's unplugged for three minutes. I have no idea why this is. So I am of no help here. I think laptop batteries just kind of do that.

For the Battery Life, maybe it's just your batteries, and you need to buy a new one.

As for the Boot-up time, that could be from various reasons. Try defragging first and see if it makes a difference. If that doesn't cut it, maybe it's malware and you'd need to ask people on a more specialist forum.

Buy a mac? Not trying to be a D-Bag but I had the same problem, I bought a MacBook Pro and I haven't had that problem again, yet. However, if PC is more your thing thing than I have no idea.

This little utility is one of the best things to hit the web. The free edition alone is simply awesome. It's a full suite of tools and tweaks that gets stuff back on track. It is also a great alternative to simply reformatting.

Do a spyware/malware check. And buy a new battery.
