Hi guys!
I have a problem regarding my laptop.
Upon boot the pc works somewhat fine, but animations and performance in general are a little sluggish, I can’t watch 1080p youtube videos without it lagging and certain programs are just slower than normal. For example, I use GIMP with a graphic tablet for notes when I study and pen input will lag a lot.
The fun thing is, If i suspend the pc and wake it up, even immediatly, all lags and general sluggishness just desappears, youtube videos work fine and so does GIMP and the system feels generally snappier and faster. So I thought that it has something to do with RAM, maybe when I wake up my laptop from sleep a lot of wath it put into RAM remains there, but looking at system monitor before and after suspend doesn’t show more or less ram usage… can’t wrap my head around it!
It’s nothing too serious, it takes like 10 seconds to close and open the laptop lid again, but still it would be even nicer if I didn’t have to do it XD
What do you think about it?
