I have the Dell Inspiron Mini 1090 (also known as the Dell Inspiron Duo) and everytime I go on Facebook it is really slow. Every other website is fine.
Here are my specs:
Windows 8 DP 2 GB Ram 320 GB 7200 RPM Harddrive 1.5 Ghz Intel Dual-Core Atom Processor N550 Internet Explorer 10 (whether it be the Immersive version or the Desktop version.)
It's a really fast computer for it being an atom.
It also was pretty slow on Windows 7 when using Internet Explorer 9.
Does anyone know why it is so slow? I don't have a problem with any other website but that!

Yesterday FB was very slow here too, and all my friends had the same problem, so there's nothing wrong with your pc. By "coincidence" the speed returned to normal exactly at 0:00 local time.

I'm pretty sure there's an extension for Chrome that gives it basic touch support. Perhaps the same with Firefox. I'll likely fix itself in the future, it's a DP browser on a DP OS afterall.

Not sure what you mean by "no touch support" when the touch screen is just acting as a mouse...? Sure the buttons are a little small for touch to be easy to use but you'll have to live with that.

I think he means touch-scrolling. Some browsers like Chrome natively, don't allow you to scroll by flicking down and up.
