Acer Aspire Es1-523 User Manual

MD Dual Core E1-7010 (1.5 GHz)
4GB DDR3 L memory
Bought from Argos for daughter for schoolwork. From day 1, it has been shockingly slow, to the point where you cannot run more than 1 app at a time. for example, almost all apps try to open, then show the 'not responding' message in title bar. Waiting sometimes helps and they open, but just as often just freezes and I have to shut it down via Task Manager. I finally gave in and did a complete reinstall. It took 36 hours! It also picked up another problem - it got stuck on desktop, windows menu etc not working. After a bit of poking around, it finally seems to be loading properly.
I have never had a laptop with less than 8GB, so have no idea if this slowness is normal for a 4GB machine. The research I did before buying it seemed to indicate that for 'normal' use, the difference would not be very noticeable. I gave in and bought a new Acer 8GB which performs reasonably well. Not super speedy, but usable.
Is it a problem that can be solved? I am not particularly pc literate, but can follow instructions if simple and clear!
Should I send it to Acer for repair, throw it away or use it as a door stop?
