Ezbook Pro 3 V4 – very slow and lagging when browsing

[Stefan]

I can’t help with the lag issue sadly, but i don’t think it’s a v4. Locked power options and recieving date points more towards v5 or v5.5.

Since you are only talking about lags while browsing, could it be internet connection?

You could also check the driver with the Intel driver assistant. I think the one on mine was outdated.

If you own a USB to Network connector, try a wired connection.

Wifi is good at 50MB-100MB download speed on  Verizon Fios

Lagging I mention browsing because that all my wife does on the laptop

I will try to check Intel driver and let you know

Thx

The lag is probably because of the Windows updates installing in the background. At least that was the case with my ezbook 3 pro.

Windows update has completed already but still lagging. 🙁

The CPU is pretty weak still, and modern webpages need a decent CPU to load all the adverts. I use an ad blocker extension on Chrome which helps a lot 🙂

[Young]

Just updated Intel Network driver.

Got ABP Ad Blocker.

Overall PC speed is just slow.

Checked my internet speedtest.net  106 MB down   88 MB up.

Edge browser – CNN.com loading time is even abit slow. 🙂

Do you think changing to different SSD will speed it up more?

Too bad we cannot upgrade the memory on this

Do you have any weird power settings which may be throttling the CPU? Try downloading the Passmark Performance Test application (30 day trial) and see what results you get.

Check task manager for any cpu intensive process running. Ezbook 3 pro should be responsive for web browsing… I had more than 50 tabs in chrome and for browsing it was maybe 10-15% slower than my other i5 laptop with ssd… Almost not noticable.

At start up  windows defender at high 30-50%, then after few minutes, it’s back to less than 1%

I also see Cortana at like 15%-30% only for few seconds though

Running benchmark now

[Young]

Pass mark rating 847.8

Cpu mark 1502.0

2D 180.3

3D 326.6

Memory mark 861.8

Disk mark 998.2

Disk mark the lowest at 45th percentile but for web browsing it shouldn’t matter right?

How does this compare with other jumper ezbook 3?

If you haven’t done so already, I recommend a clean install of Windows. I did the latter and noticed an improvement in start up times and performance in general. HWiNFO is a great tool for finding out information about your system, it will tell you if you have a power limit set on the CPU. If it states “Unlimited” there isn’t a power limit set.

Same for me, i made a copy of windows from the Emmc to and SSD and it was slow and cumbersome. After a fresh install on SSD everything is fine. Make sure to backup the “intel thermal management” (or similar named) drivers with doubledriver. As finding those on the net isn’t easy.

How do you deal with licensing when you do fresh install of Windows?

Do I have to get new SSD ? Laptop cost only $220

SSD cost is $125, which is more than half of the laptop cost. lol

Lincense is hardware based so no problem, NO you do not have to get an SSD that is a choice and NO they don’t cost what you quote. A 128GB 2280 SSD is only 50 Euro and that includes our silly 19% sales tax.

You can also do a fresh install on the inlcuded 64GB emmc…. of course.
