Hard Drive Memory (how many GB?)
Processor Speed (How Many GHz, is it Dual Core?)

You have a low amount of RAM and a slow processor. For the most part laptops aren't good computers for using Maya or other 3D programs and it's expensive to get faster components in a laptop.
If you can buy anything more for your computer I would recommend buying some more RAM, that should help a bit, but with a system like that it would really be better to get a new system--desktops are cheaper for faster parts but again that's just more money you'd have to spend.
Other than that I would just recommend closing any unnecessary programs while Maya is running.

More polygons usually makes the viewport slower, but also if you have textures displayed in the viewport it can be slow, or if you have Backface Culling turned on (where it shows only one side of the polygon).

This is what I'm talking about. Please look at screenshot.

Focus on size and detail of polygons.
That makes me confuse until now.

That isn't a huge difference in size, it shouldn't be a big deal. It's probably just differences in materials or something.

Could you please suggest me technic or material I could use to reduce size as small as it can?
For start it wasn't a big deal, but in the future I might be a big trouble. If I want to make my polygon more detail to be equal like tie fighter, with my knownledge right now, its size will be very large and hard to render into animation.
I think it might be something about setting. but I don't know what it is. for 1 polygon it use around 27 kbyte. I think it's too much.
If you play maya please...tell your experience. tell about yours.
