500 KBps, or 500 kbps?

One is kinda bad, and the other is terrible. Latency?

You're using a better (different) browser than IE, right? Did you know people who use 3rd party browsers tend to be more productive and more successful in their work than those who use use the default?

14% CPU is high for an idle utilization on a new laptop. Did you remove all the bloatware that normally accompanies the laptop?
