It's unlikely to be the laptop.Anybody have one? My husband has one, and swears it's the slowest laptop he has ever had the misfortune of owning.
Any alienware owners have this problem?

When does the computer become sluggish?
It could be any number of things.The minute he opens it up. It's sluggish when he's online. It's sluggish when he opens a program. It's not any particular thing that he does - it's generally slow all the way around. He flashed it and upgraded the BIOS and it's a little better, but it's still unbelievably sluggish. It's supposed to be one of the fastest gaming computers out there. He said he couldn't even imagine playing a game on it.

Probably overloaded with malware, bloatware and background processes. Tell him to do a factory reset, usually a disk comes with it that'll reformat the HDD and reinstall Windows.
Whenever I use anyone else's computer and it runs like crap I do a bit of spring cleaning, leave them thinking they have a new computer. Too many desktop icons and icons on the taskbar running is usually a dead giveaway.
Yeah I bought it first, and hated it. Absolutely hated it. I gave it to him, and he hates it, too. I will tell him what you guys said. He is used to working on computers, so he probably tried all this already, but I'll let him know.
Tell him to quit browsing the porn sites and picking up viruses. :2razz:
Disks to reformat have not been included in new computer purchases for years. At least the last 3 laptops purchased by my family have not had a restore disk. But thanks on the other.
Yeah, the OEM provides a partition with an image of a clean install of windows.Disks to reformat have not been included in new computer purchases for years. At least the last 3 laptops purchased by my family have not had a restore disk. But thanks on the other.
Like you don't lend a helping hand ...:lol: Nah, he's grumpy enough without taking away his favorite pastime.
