Formula speed / Laptop specification

Thank you NikolinoDE there is a lot to go through there but I will and I will feed back to you.

I am absolutely blown away by how helpful everyone here has been.  I really didn't expect so many replies.  Lots for me to review and try out and investigate.

I will certainly share the hardware spec with my manager to see what she can do for me.  In the meantime I will make a start on reviewing my master workbooks to see where I can follow all the tips and cut out any unnecessary tasks for excel to do.  I've promised to share with my colleagues to as there are other in my team having similar problems.

I will go through your list item by item and make a note of any improvements.  Though it may take me a week or two because i'll have to do it all in between work but there will be opportunities as I am going along.

Thank you so much for taking the time to share.  I've struggled for two years and there have been tears and tantrums along the way so I am excited to get a bit of control back.
