Hey All fellow owners. First of all I understand this PC was cheap as chips so expectations should be set accordingly I guess however. However does anyone have any tips on how to get the experience as slick as possible. I find the whole usage a little laggy when doing even the most basic tasks.

If so, how goes it? are you streaming HD video? how well does it work?
