- anoncoward111 8y agoGive it time, my 2008 lenovo was originally marketed as a "photoshop-workstation". Now it chugs to even boot any Windows operating system that takes updates.

My 2011 XPS 17 was struggling to boot and running full fan on idle, after I took it apart and cleaned it, it improved significantly. Edit: struggling to run efficiently and satisfactorily fast.
