But using it as a mobile hotspot so I can get internet on my computer sucks. The laptop is running like ****, especially with videos, pictures, anything with lots of graphics. Even trying to do work off of our cloud is excruciating.

What's my best option for improving the internet on my PC? Satellite? I'm reading mixed reviews about that. I need a gadget that'll get me good streaming speeds both in and out.
I'm no young punk, but maybe I can help.

It sounds like your random access memory is too low or being used up on the PC side, but run a speed test to see whats up with your connection:

Speedtest by Ookla - The Global Broadband Speed Test

Post up your results from that along with the specs on your PC and we'll go from there.
