dear You can save a lot of time by working with a fast computer. Adding more RAM or using the latest high speed CPU, will definitely boost your computer speed, but this can be expensive. However, the computer speed can also be boosted significantly by making small changes in your computer setup.

Some of the simple tasks which can boost your computer speed are:

1. Uninstall any software applications including games which are not used every week. These may take up a lot of hard disk space and computer memory

2. Run disk cleanup and delete all unused files. Also run the disk defragmenter.

3. Check for disk errors, the HDD will be checked the next time the computer is started. This can take a 10-20 minutes.

4. Delete all cookies and temporary internet files cached on your computer. (Go to Internet Explorer -- Tools) . Deleting temporary internet files could take some time, if you do not clear your cache regularly. Also delete all history files.

5. Empty your recycle bin regularly . Also delete unused icons and shortcuts from your taskbar , desktop and other places.

Some users reflect that they don’t know the specific location where files should be cleaned up in, and are worried to delete system files by mistake, which makes the system impossible to operate normally.

The PC has better hardware but the laptop has a better internet connection.
There are so many things involved in this. but i think normally your desktop being robust... is designed for computations... that is the reason why it superceeds ur laptop for normal working. but normally most of the laptops come with Gigabit network whereas most of the onboard PC ethernet cards are fast ethernet. this may be one reason. i.e. Gigabit card will give better results while downloading than a Fast Ethernet card.
Since the desktop is 4 years old, the processor is probably about 1/4 the speed of the laptop. Also the video memory is less, the RAM is a slower speed and the disk drive write access is probably slower as well as the RPM. Go to the listed site and run their free advisor for a little insite into both units.
