I have a 6 year old Dell laptop that has given me excellent service. It was starting to be a bit sluggish on it's original Windows 7 install so I did a fresh install of Windows 10 and while browsing with Chrome, it still seems sluggish. After clicking on a site, it seems to load quickly but it takes a few seconds before I can scroll fluidly. Also, when I type sometimes I type faster than characters appear.
Is it time to replace this old beast? I love the hardware, so I am hesitant to. I also have a second Dell laptop that is 9 years old with a 1.66 Centrino Duo processor running Mint 17.2 that seems faster.
Is this thing just a dinosaur that needs replaced or could Mint breathe new life into it? Chrome is my browser of choice and I do pretty much everything through it.
