In normal use - NO, if ou are selling / giving away the laptop then Most Likely Yes. What you do wnat to get into the habit of doing on a regular basis is defragmenting the hard disk. This will involve a bit of detective work to find out how you operating system does this but the speed improvements that result will amaze
