    Hi. I often lag on my computer when I start typing or click on a text box. It freezes for a sec, then whatever I typed or the blinking cursor appears all at once after being momentarily being frozen.

    It hasnt been even 2 months since I purhcased my Dell laptop.

    i5 CPU, 4GB ram, Intel X25M SSD...I don;t think it's the hardware. NO viruses.

    THis happens when I'm on Google Chrome only...i'm not even multitasking.

    Possible causes of the lagging?

    My guess is that it is the flash plug in or some other plug in.
