You got your laptop, right.
It's slower than a normal computer. It is.
And a Asus rant...
I just re-installed my "now" trusty Asus F5R laptop because I thought the standard install and partitioning done by Asus was
up their ass! It was inefficient! 
Made to make the restore dvd work. (Oem OS discs suck hard ass!!!! - the one I got didn't even flag the bootable partition in the "active -mode" so it could not continue the install!!! Such amateur stuff! I had to format the drive and do that for it, before it would manage on it's own!!! Then it installed everything perfect... but DUH! That was a somewhat strange thing!!! - I have reported this to Asus, of course!)
Anyway I installed again now, and it is MUCH faster! But it could be faster still! How about a boot time of 5 seconds?
Well, that is now possible with Hybrid 2.5 HD's (They have put a say 256MB flash drive that can contain the boot data for quick boot times into these HD's!
)
I'm getting one for my Asus!
