Hi

New laptop is already starting to run slowly. Piggin Windows 8.


I wonder if it is (in part at least) a matter of perception.

IIRC you went from a pretty old desktop to the new laptop. So the new
laptop was probably faster at booting up, opening programs, opening
photos. You'd have noticed those changes.

It was noticeably faster at first.

Now you are used to it. So you no longer notice the changes. What you
notice instead is that you are again having to wait while the bloody
thing boots up, opens programs etc.

I get the annoying spinning circle and the hour glass now.

If so you could of course buy an even newer, more expensiove, better
machine; or only use your laptop when drinking and look upon time it
spends booting up etc as opportunities to bend the elbow of your choice


I'll explore the drinking option :-)
