Laptop Computer Slow Startup

This has all the powers of a laptop, but faster startup, much smaller. So happy i got this.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My laptop was running pretty slow. Did some research on what I could do without getting a new computer and found I could use a SSD to improve performance. Followed an online guide on how to clone my hard drive to it. It was decently easy for me and I'm by no means a computer guru. I'm running about 3x faster. Glad I did it.

Arrived quickly and was simple to install. Product was recognized by laptop upon startup.

Looking to speed up your SATA computer system? This is an excellent way to boost startup speed and increase storage at the same time.

This is a follow up on my original review from 12/3/2022 (I do not see a way to update an existing review). All my findings in the first review are still valid and the laptop has proven itself a reliable workhorse. However I discovered one intermittent issue with the battery life. In most cases the 80% charged battery wold last at least 4-6 hours when watching videos or browsing web on the lowest brightness. Occasionally however it would drop to 2 hours or less (the back of the laptop would also become noticeably warm). I turned on battery saver, made sure to disable any programs and services, except the video player or the browser tab I was using, and the CPU utilization was around 1%. Yet the battery life was unusually short and I could find any reason for that. A reboot (sometimes more than once) would help in most cases but this did not seem right. After some research I found that Windows Fast Startup, enabled by default, may be causing this (no hard evidence though). Anyway, after disabling Fast Startup my battery life on the lowest settings improved to consistent 7-8 hours (again with the initial charge of 80%). If you are unhappy with your battery life search for How to Turn On or Off Fast Startup in the Control Panel. It is simple and I did not notice any adverse effects.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It a very nice laptop, quick startup and fast response.

Great software to start with. Does not make the computer slow.

It is very useful and I am getting use to it. It's different from the laptop computer. But I like it. Thanks.

I used the tool to assemble a Laptop computer.

My computer would go into slow motion with my old card. After I replaced with this one, everything just worked.
