The overall performance of your laptop should always be excellent. However, you need to take heed when you notice lapses in speed. The main cause of a slow down in the speed of the processor is probably lack of enough RAM. Laptop memory is what enables you to connect to your browser and be able to download files at top speed. It also enables you to load several programs at a go with ease. When buying a new laptop, check how much RAM is available with the manufacturer so that you can know how much is available for your software. Different software programs require different amounts of RAM. Calculate the total requirement of all software you intend to install and make sure that the free memory is more than that number by a higher margin. This will keep the performance of your laptop in top condition.

Some laptops have integrated applications which automatically take up more RAM. These applications cannot be removed so you have to find a way of working around them. Confirm if yours is in this category so that you can upgrade the memory if need be. You can use an upgrade of 512MB to 3GB, but do not exceed the given maximum.
