Cheap laptops are among those most likely to benefit from a speed-boosting tune up, it has been revealed.
With high-end models such as the Sony Vaio Z able to load up in under 10 seconds courtesy of Windows 7, experts are keen to point out that cheap laptops are just as capable of quick start-ups (if not quite as fast as the high-powered Vaio).
The top tip for achieving fast loading speeds on cheap laptops is to make sure that all unnecessary programs are removed from the startup folder. This means that no time is wasted in starting applications you do not use.
Cheap laptops can also benefit from having tidy desktops, since Windows has to spend time checking that all of your shortcuts link to actual files.
Another way of ensuring a speedy boot on cheap laptops is by keeping the system free of adware and spyware. This can slow the system down drastically but can be kept at bay with a good virus checker.
