New Satellite C50-A264 Laptop way too slow.

Question

I got this Satellite C50-A254 few weeks ago,i didnt touch it alot.
I only used this laptop 2-3 times but its just terribly slow.
Even if i launched Google Chrome,it constantly stopps responding and i have no idea why because it was too slow from the first place when i booted this laptop which doesnt make sence at all.
I cant run literary anything good. Even opening control panel takes about 5 seconds.
The specs are:
OS: Windows 8
HDD: 500GB
RAM: 2GB
CPU: Pentunum
I've only installed uTorrent and Steam,but i dont know why that causes this laptop to be terriblely slow.
I didnt tried to uninstall anything since it was slow from the first time.
I'm sure this was not a re-used PC.

Answer 1

I have the exact same stituation with the Toshiba C50D
Bought it from the South African disributor
Out of the box it was so slow as to be unuseable even for basic email
within 2 days I took it back
They would not accept it back as it has been used (tried once and not again.)
I am now stuck with the WORST EVER COMPUTER, WHICH HAS TOTALLY PUT ME OFF ALL TOSHIBA PRODUCTS.
The computer has lived in the cupboard  in it's box for the past 6 months and not been used.
I have since purchased a DELL in the same price range for my wife.
I have since purchased a much more expensive Acer as a work machine.
===============
Out of curiosity in the last day - I intalled a 256 Gig Solid state drive and increased the memory to 8Gig.  Updated to Windows 8.1
ABSOLUTELY NO CHANGE IN THE POOR PERFORMANCE.
SHAME ON YOU TOSHIBA FOR SELLING SUCH COMPLETE RUBBISH AND RIPPING THE PUBLIC OFF.
