ok so i just purchased an asus zenbook pro ux501 a couple days ago and i've found that web browsers like chrome/firefox have been extremely slow/laggy and sometimes unresponsive.

i have a pc running on windows 7 and browsing on chrome/ff is completely fine and snappy but when i use them on this laptop everything seems to take ages to load, now im not talking about internet speeds when i download games on steam its just as fast as on my pc or when i check speedtest i get the same speeds as on my pc but when i open a tab or open settings in chrome it takes 3-4 seconds to open the new tab. ive been searching for a solution for the past 2 days and i dont know what to do anymore

system specs:

cpu: i7 4720hq

16gb ram

512gb ssd

gtx 960m
