Hello.
We just recently bought our first laptop/notebook...
It's a HP G50-219CA Notebook PC and it has 3G RAM for around 599.00
I am unable to find any user reviews on it! Anyone?
It downloads very slow and we are not gamers. I deleted Norton, which came
as a trial with it and that speeded things up a bit, cleaned up, and I have to defrag every night to keep it's speed up. Still downloadings extremely slow.
Also I downloaded Vista Upgrade Adviser and it said:
Mobile Intel® 4 Series Express Chipset Family Intel Corporation
This device will not work in Windows Vista. For more information, please go to the device manufacturer's website, Windows Marketplace, or contact your retailer.
I chatted with the HP Tech and he gave me an update for the Bios and said if that doesn't help to do a full system recovery. We just bought it!!!
1. I would like to know if we bought a Lemon because we can still return it as it has been less than a week.
2. Does someone change the names of HP computers when they get to Canada?
3. Is what Windows Vista Upgrade Adviser said a concern?
4. How can I speed up this machine?

Thank you!!!
