7 TIPS TO USE YOUR
COMPUTER MORE EFFICIENTLY
What makes a computer run fast?
• RAM
• Internet Connection
• Hard drive
• SSD vs HDD
Tip 1: Maximize your memory
• In the market for a new
computer, RAM is key
• Keep track of processes
running in the
background
Tip 2: Improve Internet Connection
• Choose the right ISP-
www.speedtest.net
• Make sure router is
powerful enough
• Don’t choke up bandwidth
• As last resort, move
closer to router or use
Ethernet
Tip 3: Do frequent Scans
• Viruses, adware, and
tracking cookies will
appear during normal use
• Adblock Plus, Malware
Bytes, Microsoft
Security Essentials, AVG
Antivirus
Tip 4: Disk Defragmentation
• Disk defragmentation
speeds up read/write
operations to hard drive
• Possible to schedule
defragmentation or
perform manually
Tip 5: Manage Startup Programs
• Too many programs on
startup hurt boot times
• Only disable if you know
what it does
• When in doubt-Google
Tip 6: Google Chrome is the bane
of old computers
• Each tab in chrome uses
separate memory process
• Good for crashes, but
uses vast amounts of RAM
• Use firefox or tab
suspender with old PC
Tip 7: Avoid leaving your laptop
plugged in
• On many laptops, leaving
plugged in constantly
charges battery
• Can cause long term
drain
• Either unplug when full
or remove battery
Looking forward…
• Use adblockers
• Turn off computer when
not in use
• Don’t install unneeded
programs and delete ones
no longer used
• Next time you buy, check
specs!
