Problems with my HP laptop bought from Best Buy

HP - 15.6" Laptop - 4GB Memory - 320GB Hard Drive - Charcoal Gray - 2000-416dx

I have to press the volume control for a second for each tick down or up, so that it's actually faster to adjust the volume by going all the way over to the bottom left corner and adjusting with the mouse.

So how can I make the volume control button be more faster?

Also, does the rather slow basic AMD processor makes it more energy efficient meaning that it uses less electricity than other computers with more powerful processors?

 

The link is not working anymore; it had the same specs as this one except that it had bluetooth and was dual core AMD: HP - 15.6" Pavilion Laptop - 4GB Memory - 320GB Hard Drive - Charcoal Gray - g6-1d16dx
It seems like they decided to not carry this anymore. (Perhaps because I was referring to it a lot in forums saying how bad it was?)

By the way I have another problem with this computer. How do you eject the CD?

 

Is there a long silver button on the side of the CD drive?

 

Ok, that one is solved. thanks.

Anyway, does the rather slow basic AMD processor makes it more energy efficient meaning that it uses less electricity than other computers with more powerful processors? (The more powerful a processor is, the more electricity and battery it uses?)


Also since this one does have bluetooth, would you say that it is worth it to keep using it? Or is the lack of bluetooth simply solvable by a blutetooth dongle for $30?
