Question

PLEASE URGENT

Jan 2, 2015 12:29PM PST

I bought this laptop two weeks ago from Amazon:
Acer Aspire E 15 ES1-512-C88M 15.6-Inch Laptop (Diamond Black)

It's good so far, with only one (major) problem.. I feel it is a bit slow, I usually open 2 Words, 1 Excel, 1 Chrome with few tabs open, and a youtube playing music in the background. and it seems to be slow while doing all that.. before this, I had Dell Inspiron, and it was AMAZING, it could handle double of this work , with 2 chromes open, each with more than 7 tabs open, and it would work so fast (my only problem with it, that it was heavy to carry for university).. so I keep comparing to it, but I'm not sure this the case here.

Should I return this? Is it only mine or this is how this laptop works? when I look into the other laptops within the same price range like the Asus or Dell inspiron, I find the same specifications, so I'm afraid it will be the same performance. any recommendations? (I need an easy to carry laptop , for max 300-350$)

please HELP!

Thanks..

It's not a speedy thing, but usable for the price.
