    I had an old asus laptop that was an i3 laptop that lagged quite a bit when i played online poker. I play 20 plus tables with HEM2 and TN1. I was told my laptop is not fast enough because it was an i3-370m processor. I upgraded it from 4gb to 8gb but it didn't do that much. Still lagged once i hit close to 20 tables. I also had an ssd as well.


    I was suggested to get a quad core laptop so i won't have any issues. I bought the sager NP2740 few months ago. When i first got it, it was very fast but i didn't play any online poker with it. I just used it for web browsing and sites etc. I still have a lag when i play around that much tables. Also... my laptop lags quite a bit when i have a lot of chrome windows open. I probably have 6 windows open but each window i have at last 8 tabs on each.


    Anyways when i upload files through adrive while web browsing, i have a horrible lag. Also when i type like right now, if im uploading something or downloading stuff whether on adrive or photobucket... my typing lags a lot letter by letter. First off is this normal or not?


    The other thing is my laptop is an i7-4770HQ with 8gb of ram. It has the Intel® Iris™ Pro Graphics 5200 which i was told is one of the best even though all i do is play poker online. I of course have an SSD for this as well its samsung 250gb ssd.


    Does anyone know why every new computer i buy, after a while it always lags and slows down? I do currently only have 144gb free out of 232gb.

    I assume you're using windows, did you check task manager? see what is using the CPU and what the percentage usage is?

    I've had this happen to me personally and is always a software issue to be found as the cause. Something is dragging the system down somewhere. You had a post earlier today that also pointed to software issues causing performance issues. It sounds like you just have a lot of unnecessary programs installed and running which are causing the issues you're referencing.

    Try to stick to one thread for your issues so that people aren't responding to both indpendently
