justme2,
I wonder if your friend's quad core processor is 1.9 GHz or slower and if the drive is 5400 rpm, 7200 rpm, or SSD?
Even with the laptop specs you see in my profile, I was unhappy with Windows 7. My core i5 is only dual-core, but it is quad threaded. So Linux sees it as a quad-core processor. Things run much, much better with the same hardware under Linux Lite. I only use Windows in a VM for one app. An app I only need to access 1-3 times per year.
