So here's the situation at my end. About 2 years ago, I bought a Dell XPS 15 laptop with a 3 year warranty. I've recently received as part of that warranty a new XPS laptop as the old one has had multiple hardware problems. Fortunately, I now have both laptops, both working, and dell will collect the old laptop in a couple of weeks time giving me time to transfer the data over.
But the new laptop is much slower, noticeably so browsing the internet and loading images. Take a standard photo album on facebook for example. I load the same album up on the same internet connection and click through the photos at exactly the same time. My old laptop loads the images as near to immediately as I can describe, whereas the new laptop although admittedly not VERY slow, loads each picture about half a second later every single time. It's like there is a delay on the new laptop. This is where I'm confused.
Old XPS: Windows 7, 8GB Ram, 1TB SATA, old i7 core
New XPS: Windows 8.1, 16GB Ram, 512GB SSD, latest i7 core, also has better graphics card, and a 4K touchscreen.
So all in all, a warranty win, but on paper, this laptop should be the bomb. It's like it's lagging when loading. I've tried changing to google public DNS, still a lag. Lag is there even when using the new laptop without the old laptop on (just in case anyone is thinking along those lines).
Anyone got any ideas?
