How much ram does it have?
Because its new your not likely to have much on your hard drive, not enough for a defragment.
I would say definitely say get google chrome, you would be surprised how fast it is compared to ie.
What browser are you using?

your laptop's network interface is faster than your router, it failed to connect at its fastest speed to dropped to its slowest.
assuming wireless, you need to try setting it to "g" rather than "n"
assuming wired you need to select 100Mb not 1Gb
