I have just purchased Acer Aspire 3 A315 - 33 model from Flipkart with 2gb ram and 500 gb hdd, celeron dual core processor. Since day 1 it is running slow as hell. It behaves as if running on 200 mb ram. I cant do even basic tasks. Even creating a new folder takes 5-6 seconds. What should i do?

    Good Morning Nkleet !


    Have you updated all your drivers?
    Is it only on the battery or plugged into the power outlet too?

    Check the Task Manager if the disk usage error is occurring at 100%.

    1. Did not update driver manually. But windows is updated.so in case windows update updates drivers, then they are updated otherwise not.
    2. No disk error of 100%
    3. Both on battery and plugged in.

    The Microsoft Update Drivers database is very outdated.
    The ideal is that there is a need for the drivers to be updated and manual.
    What is the exact model of the laptop?
    Example: A315-33-C39F

    Was this model purchased in the region of India?
    Is the machine marked for high performance in Windows power options?
    The Windows Data BD is very restricted and outdated.
    I suggest you upgrade to the most recent versions.

    This model is pretty basic in all hardware configurations.
    It was developed for simple segments like internet searches and office packages.
    Nothing more.
    I recommend that you update all your drivers manually to the latest versions.
    But you will not get any huge gains in that model.

    What about upgrading RAM to 8 GB?

    It would have some slight increase but this model has low performance processor as well as basic integrated GPU.
    You will not feel any substantial performance gain.

    My prior laptop was i ball marvel 6 with intel celeron 1.1 ghz processor and 3 gb ram. It was extremely fast. So why it cant be faster being 1.6 ghz same processor and 8 gb ram? I have already placed order on Amazon, i just wanted to confirm with you.

    It is comparing past technology models with no basis.
    Fact is that this model is not high-performance and fou development for tracking basic research and office resources.
    There is no upgrade that will make it faster or perform better.
