New ASUS Laptop

I purchased a new Asus laptop a555la-xx2561t that comes preloaded with windows 10.
The specs are below:
Core i3 5005u
4gb ddr3l 1600
wd blue 5400rpm 1tb laptop drive
Genuine win 10 home.

Why does day to day tasks seem sluggish? Is it because of sower hdd or because of low ram? Since my desktop has a fx 6300, 500gb wd caviar black and 8gb ddr3 1866 ram it fells way faster and snappier.
 
Solution
that sounds about right. a slower HDD and a lower amount of ram compared to your desktop PC. you might want to try to get rid of some of the bloatware on the laptop to improve performance


I did that and its quite faster than it was on the first boot. I might be able to slip in a 4gb ddr3 module to increase ram but i think thats overkill for office jobs like typing and other jobs
 


if it works i would go for it. you can never have too much ram no matter what it is being used for
