There are many PCs that are new and slow. At the office we have a dozen Windows 8 laptops and I don't seem to find them any slower than our old gear.

A corrupt hard drive forced me to buy a new CPU with Windows 8 loaded. Ever since, I have had browser issues galore! Whether it's Chrome or IE doesn't matter. Slow load times, even after loading, pictures need to be manually downloaded. Facebook slow to load, it is driving me mad! I checked with Verizon and the speed is fine. If anyone has encountered this, please help!
