I have a laptop- but it takes ages to get onto SR. My regular desktop is just fine.
My laptop is 2.8ghz and 4gbRAM
For security I want to use my laptop- can anyone help me?
Does anyone else have this problem?

I'm no computer whiz but I use SR and Tor exclusively on my laptop and by and larger it's almost as fast as clear net sites. My guess would be you're laptop itself is just slow or you're internet is slow, however if it works fine on your desktop I guess thats not it.. Doubt this helps much, just my 2 cents and trying to get to 50

mine is a 2.3ghz and it runs this site almost as well as a clearnet site..i think a lot of it has to do with internet connection but i am definately not an expert..

Thank you fellows. However, through trial and error I have deducted that internet connection is definitely not the issue. The desktop has a slow 'Cheap and slow' connection and it works fine, whilst the fast modern stick is in the laptop and I have just spent 2 hours unsuccessfully getting on to SR.
ALSO, the laptop has better processor and bigger RAM- I am buggered I tell you.
I just want to use the laptop for security, and also use an anonymous modern stick too.

I wonder if my firefox setting shave anything to do with it?
I got this message

Try with TAILS and see if you have a better experience.

Thanks leaf- but please explain what 'tails' is ?
-
Ok leaf- I am onto it and shall give it a go.. Thank you very much

I think it's just the Tor network man?

I thought TAILS was a sort of encryption. That would make it even slower at the cost of extra protection was my understanding.....link?

I took my laptop to the local computer shop and told the young man exactly what the problem was- he knew about this site. I told him about how i need sleeping pills-right?
He took a few hours to fix the 'bios' and now I can get onto SR real easy, cost $120
now i use sr with a fake modem and fake internet sim----- security plus

I dont understand why you had to tell the guy that your laptop was too slow to buy drugs online but i'm glad to hear its fixed.

You told the computer guy that you buy illegal drugs online? Un --FUCKING-- believable!! That's enough, bedtime.

I FE'd on a kilo of coke from someone who didn't deliver, so I popped into my local police station to file a complaint.
