I bought a lenovo ideapad z370 (with 500GB HDD and 4GB RAM) last year and it is a fantastic laptop, cheap, nice and comfortable keyboard, and decent graphics. However it is very slow, i dont have many third party programs only skype and itunes that i can think of. When in chrome/internet explorer i find the speeds are ridiculously slow, i have 16MB internet speed so shouldn't be slow. Itunes takes ages to open and is occasionally laggy when open. Plus when i have 5 tabs or more open on chrome and Skype open my computer is so slow. My main problem is the boot up and shutdown and update times they take the longest!
People have said increase the RAM it improves the performance of the running of the programs. I seen the prices and another 4GB to make a total of 8GB isnt too expensive. However some have said get and SSD. It is recommend that around 128GB is right amount. However i would just easily buy these things and install them myself but i don't want to replace my 500GB Hard drive. My question is can i have both the HDD and SSD if so how do i run both.
Also let me know what the best thing to do, to increase the overall speed and performance of the laptop, more RAM and SSD or Hybrid SSD. Ive seen Hybrid SSDs are way cheaper and more GB but ive heard they arnt as good as normal SSDs. Help me make my mind up and what should i do and how do i go about it.
Thanks for reading this and hope you can help and i hope i made sense!
