The arrival of netbooks has recently taken the PC market by storm. Unfortunately, these mini-notebooks are a little slower than their full PC cousins, but with the right tweaks, you can squeeze the last bit of speed and functionality out of these small machines. This post shows you the best ways to optimize your netbook. In this pot I’m using a light software TuneUp to enhance the performance……
7 great tips and tricks to optimize your netbook :
1. Use a lightweight Media Player and codec pack to play all your favorite videos and music (e.g. Media Player Classic).
2. Uninstall programs you no longer use, especially trial software, as these can clutter up the drive. They also create unwanted registries maxamizing the RAM Usage. TuneUp Uninstall Manager of our TuneUp Utilities helps you immensely with that.
3. Defrag the hard drive to better manage your data and keep your computer running fast. We recommend using TuneUp Utilities to safely and consistently do this on a regular basis. What Does Defragment Do?
4. Reduce the user interface of Internet Explorer, Firefox, and other Web browsers to better utilize the smaller “real estate” on your netbook. Right-click on the upper menu bar of your browser and uncheck unnecessary menu items or toolbars.
5. Go back to the classic Windows look and feel. Animations can hinder the system's performance. To do that, right-click on your desktop and go to “Properties” (XP) or “Personalize” (Vista). Under the “Design” entry, select the classic design and hit “OK.”
6. Disable unnecessary devices, such as Bluetooth, FireWire, and Wi-Fi, to save battery power. Run a registry scan to delete unwanted registry entries again using our own TuneUp!!
7. Don't run too many applications at the same time. Multitasking is better suited for a laptop, whereas netbooks are designed for basic use such as word processing and simple Web browsing.
Finally, enjoy your netbook's performance at the maximum!!!
