Does anyone know how to fix a slow laptop

Yes.
1. Apply 220VAC instead of 117VAC. More voltage makes it go faster.
2. Lay the laptop flat. Electrons don't like to go uphill.
3. Reduce your expectations and live with the slow laptop. Slow
computers are not fun, but they're cheap.
4. Wind the mainspring tightly.
5. The laptop might be overheating. The CPU protects itself by
slowing down. Cool the laptop in a bucket of cold water.
6. Type slower. The laptop is having a difficult time keeping up
with your typing.
7. Computers naturally slow down when the warranty or service
contract is about to expire. Renew these and it should speed up.
8. Sometimes, just talking to the laptop will convince it to go
faster. Start with petitions for improved performance and escalate to
threats of replacement. Hints of violence are often helpful.
9. Wipe the hard disk and start over. That won't solve the problem,
but it's the standard phone support solution to keep you occupied.

Let us know how these work for you.
