Something on your laptop is hogging its resources while you're online, meaning that it can't always respond to keystrokes. The most common cause of the problem (by far!) is anti-virus software 'going into overdrive' when a user is online.
The worst offenders for causing such problems are Windows own security products (Microsoft Security Essentials, Windows Defender, etc) and Norton but other security suites have been known to do it as well. (I stopped using AVG because it was hogging resources on my machines. There have been recent reports of Kaspersky exhibiting similar behaviour too).
Try removing your anti-virus program, restarting your computer (to flush the registry) and then either reinstalling the same product or trying something different. (Avast seems to be one of the few programs which doesn't have this problem: https:/
