A new survey finds that on average, Americans spend two hours a week waiting on their slow computers, which leaves people drained, stressed, and less likely to engage in a healthy lifestyle, researchers said. 

If you've been using a slow computer for the past year, you may have wasted more than an entire month of time waiting on your computer to boot up, open programs, shut down, or perform tasks that are typically quick, the findings showed.
