My old laptop from 2012 has gotten painfully slow to use. cpu will spike up to 100% usage, not enough ram I highly suspect. I will use the laptop mainly browsing imageboards I could have "200+ tabs/200 hd image" open at once. also it has poor cooling it will get rather hot.
its specs are
- i5-2450m
- windows 7 64 bit
- Intel HD Graphics 3000 (not sure what my usage is to be honest, could 200+ tabs be a bottleneck?)
- 8gb DDR3 1066 or 1333 (not sure which)
- 1tb hdd
- 1600x900
- 17.3" High Definition LED Display
- 7.14 lbs (3.23865 kg)
What i'm thinking of getting is something with i7-7700hq, 16gb ram minimum, ssd, good cooling, ips screen. I'm not going to be using it for gaming unless it's for a vacation so gpu isn't a important factor.
I found this it's a little on the expensive side but has everything i think i need 1173.99 after coupon. i'd like opinion on the cooler looks good to me http://www.dell.com/en-us/member/shop/productdetails/inspiron-15-7567-laptop/dncwf408s
Spec
- i7-7700HQ
- 16gb ram (upgradable to 32gb)
- 512gb pcie m.2 ssd
- 15.6-inch UHD (3840 x 2160) IPS Anti-Glare LED-Backlit Display
- 1050 ti 4gb
- backlit keyboard
- Weight: 5.76lbs (2.62Kg)
You think this will solve my slowdown? and suggestions are welcome.
