i know i don't NEED an i7, but this i3 is so fucking slow. my buddy has an i7 and his computer boots up in a heartbeat and ready to go. numeric pad is strictly for convenience and doing bills and such.
Buy an ssd hard drive and reload windows. That's probably why it boots so fast not because its an i7. My core2quad booted just as fast as my i5 with a ssd and windows 8...and that's older and slower then a i3. It honestly sounds like you just need windows reloaded because of shitty software slowing it down (malware, spyware, viruses)
U can save ur bookmarks now... there are options in firefox. U can pick export file on to ur desktop and email it to ur self.
Ssd is like a turbo charged hard drive. It will for sure boost ur speeds, should run u like $50-200 pending on size. But if u want a new lappy that is understandable as well.
I have a win7, i3 samsung laptop and no issues with speed. Just hate my battery life of 3.5 hours.

Yep in bookmark manager in Firefox you should be able to export them and email like turtle said.
Bruce,

Lenovo ThinkPad W520 i7 2720QM Quad Core 2 2GHz 4GB 160GB SSD Quadro 1000M 79 | eBay
nice, I need to pickup another Lenovo. I bought one last year off ebay, turned out to be hot (it was brand new) and a detective showed up asking for it.
I didn't power it on once with the image on it, I formatted it immediately after getting it, the bullshit lojack system is in the bios and will re-install itself when any version of windows is installed. Then the lojack company can then use that windows service to spy on ALL your shit until they find out who you are and where you live. (its not just what public IP you are on).
I only gave it back when my cc was credited back. You can disable that bullshit anytime (but it can't be turned back on, and you can't turn it off if its already been reported).

A good friend of mine has an IT support company for lawyers. He setup the machine for me. We started it up and it required something like 190+ updates, which ultimately all crashed. Basically did a re-install along w other utilities. Runs great, boots and shuts down quickly. Screen is bright and sharp.
My previous laptop is a Lenovo. Has lasted me 5 years without much hiccup. Somewhat heavier than the new one. Needed to get out of XP and it was taking forever to boot. Also, some anomalies were cropping up at times. SO, decided to move things before it was too late.
The actual physical installation is pretty easy. Just make sure you have a DVD or thumb drive with the Windows install software, and the Windows key for your copy. If you don't have they key handy, you can get software that'll recover it for you. It's easy stuff, just gotta take your time, and do your research. There's a ton of people on here that can help walk you through any issues or hiccups that arise.
