First plug the laptop in and make sure the battery is full. I've seen laptops which were unusable due to too aggressive throttling settings.Īnother option may be aggressive power saving modes. The max CPU speed (tested with ) is according to Intel's specifications.Ĭheck the temperatures before and when running some demanding program. The laptop temperature is around 60 degrees.

Is that plausible?ĭell called back today and advised a complete reinstall of Windows 7 (which has just been installed by them, as this is a new laptop).
