uh? you misunderstood. there is nothing wrong about g551. slow is common for laptops that use hdd as boot drive. hdd is the major bottle neck. if you want speed, get a ssd. in the case of g551, since to access the msata slot it needs full disassembly (note that it uses half sized msata ssd, not the common full-sized that is readily available in the market), the option is to add a sata ssd as boot drive in the primary hdd caddy, and replace the dvdrom with hdd caddy, then move the stock hdd to the caddy. (you can still use the dvdrom externally with a usb adapter)

it's a small upgrade under MYR500.00. it's better than you pay at least 2 times of money to get high end models, to get that kind of user experience.

today, small ram is not a good idea also. for general use, it maybe sufficient for now. you can read a lot of comments from other threads in this forum saying 4gb is enough. however, the word, 'enough' still depends on what you do with the computer. well it's not a big deal. just top it up to 2x 4gb or 2x 8gb when you need more.
