What's the bottleneck on my laptop? Is it the RAM? The system

Your CPU is running stupid hot dude.

8GB of DD3 RAM isn't going to be a bottleneck.

I would get CCleaner and clean your shit first. Get rid of all the startup programs.

Other than that, your HDD is going to be your bottleneck. Get a SSD. It's not a meme.

That's not the actual temp. Speccy is garbage with AMD processors, it doesn't even recognize the chip.
>Get rid of all the startup programs.
The only startup program I have is google drive.
>Get a SSD
Their reliability scares me away.
I have one of those "hybrid drives". The system boots up basically like if it had an SSD but for the rest it performs like a HDD.

That's odd. Hybrid drives have horrible failure rates. SSD's have been out for years now, prices are finally starting to come down. I don't get the unreliability meme.

Not really sure what's up with your system though. Storing a shitload of files on your desktop can slow it down. Chrome is a memory hog with a lot of tabs open, but your system shouldn't choke like that. Or have firefox be unusable.

hmm wonder what might be the problem

>>57784189
Go away Pajeet

>thinks SSDs are not reliable
>uses an AMD A8POO CPU

U wot m9

>>57781750
Btw your CPU isn't on par with mobile i7s, it's about half as slow as my i5-4210U

>>57784260
Fuck off Pajeet

The bottleneck is Windows. Try installing Xubuntu.

>>57784399
Windows 10 Pro runs fast as fuck on my X200T that has a slower Core 2 Duo SL9400. So no.

It's your APU (CPU + GPU both together on the same chip). The AMD Trinity chips weren't that great to begin with and that one is a low power version on top of that. Hate to say it but it's time for an upgrade. Before you do that though, you could try a reinstall of Windows, but I don't think it will do much good desu.

>>57785280
This

I had a laptop with pretty much similar specs and the APU is shit on CPU tasks.

>>57784288
>>57785280
Yeah, that's what I thought. One site said the A8 was almost as fast as an i7 but now I've been checking more benchmarks/reviews and apparently even i3s are faster than this crap...

>>57781750
Its overheating and thermal throttling.

>>57788284
speccy does not read AMD cpu temperatures properly. it is not that hot

>>57781750
>A8-4555M
that cpu is dogshit
just compared it to my low end Core i5-4210U which struggles with heavy web usage
and my cpu fucking obliterates that amd shit
