The problem is there is not enough RAM (the included 4gb RAM is shared with the integrated graphics chip that is trying to render a High Def, 21" monitor) and the hard drive is very slow (5400rpm). You should upgrade the RAM to 8gb and replace the hard drive with a Solid State Drive. It will not be a speed demon even after this upgrade, but it will make the computer perfectly usable.

Go to this link, and you'll see how I did it. It's about halfway down the page.

Hope this helps!
