I recently found my old netbook, which I took the liberty to upgrade to Windows 8.1. It's running with an older Samsung 120GB SSD, and this particular netbook has an NVIDIA ION 2 graphics chip to augment the onboard graphics. However, onboard or not, graphical performance is pretty awful on any web browser I've tried. I've given the big 3 (IE/Chrome/FF) a run, as well as Comodo's two dragons, which I was told were less resource-heavy, in case that was causing the issue. (I ended up liking IceDragon better than anything else I've used so far and am now using that as my main browser in other setups!)
Regardless of the GPU or browser used, browsing the web on this device is far from an easy experience. Web pages are hard to scroll through, and don't load quickly- I frequently have to wait for a web page to fully render for it to even be remotely scrollable, which is difficult on web pages that have content beyond what originally loads (think Facebook or Twitter). Is there something I should be looking for that I can do to remedy the situation short of finally getting myself a better mobile computer?
