Slow start up time on my samsung laptop why ?

Hey guys so I just bought a laptop from tigerdirect and it was a good deal i payed $550 for a 14in samsung i5 2410 at 2.3ghz 6gb of ddr3 and 640gb hd. Its currently running windows 7 64 bit.

My problem is that it boots up fairly quick but then when its in windows 7 starting up it takes a long time to actually load everything and to do any basic things. For example as soon as I load into windows ill click on the start button and it takes forever to open it up and yet it such a basic task.

Now i thought this might of been just because it has to load all the services ect so i put it to sleep and even from sleep it takes a long time for the laptop to be actually functional. For example i had some web browsers open and a pdf file and skype. I awake it from sleep and i cant do anything for good while because if i click on the browser to open it it lags and takes a long time for it to show up.

This is really weird because after a few minutes the laptop will function good and I can multitask pretty well, I have like 8 tabs opened on chrome, got firefox running, skype, pdf file, sticky notes and thats it. But i can switch between all of these things really quick with no problem it just the initial start up thats lagging and taking a long time for some reason.

Any ideas what it could be ? Kinda sad because i have an older hp with intel duo and it has more crap running on it yet it boots up fast and starts up faster than this samsung.
