what is the internet speed like and the loading speed of the computer itself?

The loading speed was a little slow and the internet speed was average waiting time. Not as slow as the loading speed. I hope this was helpful to you.

More than adequate for myself. I don't recommend it as a gaming unit, but for online searches and study it has been just fine. I will add, that this unit has to be cooled by external methods because it runs on the warm side. I would also purchase an additional battery as a back up, Dell batteries are under-acheaver to say the very least.

Sorry, I honestly don't know. I bought the computer as a gift for my boyfriend. He loves it but I'm not sure what the differences would be.

PC is pretty fast. Web surfing will only be as fast as your router if you go wireless. Windows 8 takes getting used to. If you like gaming you might want more RAM.

I don't know the answer to your question, but I can tell you I would not buy this computer again. I have had problems with it since I took it out of the box. The touchscreen is erratic. Sometimes it is uncontrollable, "spastic" for lack of a better word. It is slow. I replaced my router and upgraded my ISP but it is still slow. Sometimes it takes several seconds for a keystroke to appear on the screen. It freezes for seconds at a time. Recently every time I open the browser it appears at a tiny little screen in the corner, much too small to read. I eventually contacted their tech support. They eventually decided I had a virus and downloaded anti-virus software which they said fixed the problem (they remote accessed the computer). It didn't fix anything. They also said the computer needed to be optimized, and that it would cost $69.99. I objected that I should not have to pay to have a computer optimized that was never optimized in the first place. The computer has a 12 month warranty and I have had it less than 90 days. When I objected to being charged for the service the technician I was chatting with simply ended the chat session. I eventually talked to three levels of tech support, including at least one supervisor and was always told the same thing. If I want the computer optimized I will have to pay for it. This computer sucks, my experience with Toshiba sucks, and I will never buy another Toshiba anything.

My computer does not go slow but it does lose connection with the internet alot. I have to reconnect it alot when I am on it.

it really depends on your definition of slow. I am used to pretty fast computers, have a great, fast internet connection and for my purposes (high-memory graphic art files, internet research and other mundane tasks) it is plenty fast enough for me. I used to be frustrated when I was making high memory intensive files but I don't have that problem anymore. I don't have to wait for anything to load up and my computer seamlessly interfaces with my cutting plotter, so I'm happy as a clam!

It's pretty fast actually. It loads as fast as any comparable phone like an iPhone.

I don't know the exact speeds, but it's one of the slower drives I have. I have the 8GB version and I don't recommend it.

I think the CPU speed is 600mhz and RAM amount (not speed) is 64 mb. Buffallo's Linkstation Duo is 1.6ghz and 254 menory.

Not sure. My wife is using it just as a PC "lite" to surf the Net and do a little writing.

Not really. Games run, but many slow. My client uses it for email and web mostly. Not a gamer.

Not in the slightest. If you choose to access the web from it, it will load the simplest web pages very very slowly. I love mine, but it's definitely as basic as they come.

An easy way to test that out is to have a 3.0 flash drive and transfer a 2-4gig file (a movie works nicely) and compare the speed. The 3.0 is noticeably faster. I found that the instructions that came with my laptop were not reliable in that regard. I hope this of some help to you.

Mine is not slow, lots of other issues though am researching other laptops to replace this new one. Scan for viruses often and delete your cookies and history. Good Luck!
