    What do you think of this - the Dell g5 15 AMD Its a Ryzen 5 4600H with a Radeon RX 5600M For me its on the border of 'gamery' but the good news is that the UK version can't have the full RGB keyboard so thats a score to the non-gamer look Thanks https://www.dell.com/en-uk/work/shop/laptops/new-dell-g5-15-amd/spd/g-series-15-5505-laptop/bn50503?configurationid=347ebdd7-063f-4f28-bd8d-1aae7f9f683b#features_section

    @5x5@Commodus thanks so much for the recommendation unfortunate its out of stock here in the UK and also its closer to £1000 ($1250) so bit to pricey for me. Im sure i could find it cheaper on some other websites but even on 'off brand' its £900 any other ideas?

    I am looking to buy a laptop in the £700 ($900) range. I dont want it to look like a gamers laptop, but would like it to be capable of gaming (obv not AAA titles) just some of the good titles from the last couple years. I dont need to be playing 'ultra' everything setting at 120 fps. Just looking for something practical, that can also do some light/medium gaming without masses of RGB and huge logos p.s. I can get student discounts thanks

    @jaslion @Kon-Tiki did the full reinstall of windows and managed to double and quadruple my pc speed. Only downside is that I lost my Office 2013 key due to some mix up with Dell. But still think it was worth it. Thanks

    Yeh, its looking like a full reinstall, it is the original copy. On the dust issue, my fan is actually ramped up all the time. The Dell 5558 has 2 parts to remove I have cleaned out the easier part, but to get to the fan requires keyboard removal, which i am not so confident to do

    yep... although sometimes I just want to throw it out the window Any ideas how? the main culprits seem to be: Windows Event Log System Interrupts (which i believe is hardware related b/c all my drives are up to date) CTF loader DCOM process Services and controller app they all seem to be windows related

    yesterday I finally got rid of McAffe which was taking up large amounts with its live scan

    It is Windows 10 Background processes usually have Windows processes taking up a huge chunk. Right now Event Log taking up 40/50%, sometime WMI host provider or system interrupts. I know I should rly just to a clean install of Windows to see if that solves but I just dont have the time to do it and then reinstall all my programs and files

    wow i did not expect such fast responses. Thanks so much SavageNeo I guess its just my machine then, everything is so slow. On boot up it takes me a good 3-5 min after login to be able to do anything. My CPU (i5-5250u) is always 100% maxed out and for those 5 min its usually 100% system interrupts. Maybe its time to replace the laptop. It just seems to not be doing so well

    Hi, First time poster here. I just fitted a 1tb Samsung EVO 860 to my 5 yr old Dell Inspiron 5558 to replace its stock HDD (5,400 RPM) - I cloned it directly, so in theory speed should be 4/5x faster. The thing is, i'm just not feeling the speed (although I very much 'feel the need' ). I ran Samsung Magician benchmark and my iops are really slow, I double checked it with CrystalDiskMark and my RND4K was 6k. Any advice as to why its so slow? Thanks ps. R.A.P.I.D is off
