    Download Ultimate Vista Tweaker and cut down the shutdown time.

    no other help? :(
    I'm tired of waiting for like 2 minute for it to shut down.. boot up is like less than 30-40 second.

    Yes during shutdown Vista set a default of 20 sec to shutdown which is overkill
    Using Ultimate Vista Tweaker you can shorten it.
    However seeing it is 2 mins you might have buggy software or malware on your system.

    does it also happen when you used the original HDD? did you see a real difference in speed?

    I have no clue on the original HDD.. I never bother using the original HDD, i only boot the HDD up, made a back up OS from it (eRecovery disk) and then shut it down.. then changed my HDD to a SSD and then installed the OS

    my 4810tz-4696 had a slow shut down also.. but with win7 7600... sometimes i had to turn it off by holding the power button.. who knows.. maybe a windows driver issue?

    OFFTOPIC: hows the su3500 for daily use?

    the SU3500 is fast enough for me, I'm not a power user (as in heavy multitasking). I still can't figure out why is it shutting down slow.

    There is NO SIM SLOT as far as I know, since it is usually located in the battery area. I am not sure about a 2nd Mini PCI-e. I am not going to bother opening it up since I don't need anything connected.

    Just to be sure: check how long it takes to log off. Then shut down and measure that too. That shutdown performance monitoring warning entry says your shutdown takes 10s if I am not mistaken.

    Log off is really quick.. In the "Shut Down" screen, it takes like 1-2 minute.
