Which OS are you on? Windows 7? 8? 8.1? Try right clicking on the battery or charger icon on the taskbar, since it's a laptop it should allow you to open the settings from there.

Most likely because of windows profiles. When not on power, it reduces power consumption overall, and most likely cuts on the GPU or CPU. Check it under the control panel, system, power.

Use 7-zip, it's superior AND free.

I think that if the "speed" area as he calls it remains in one block all on its own, which is by far the most complicated part of the entire machine, it can probably be worked someway. But then there are things like, if the battery can be placed in any slot, how will it ALWAYS complete the...
