I have the exact opposite complaint :-) the kickstand is not a problem but performance is so abysmal I can basically keep only one application open at the time.

I have the exact opposite complaint :-) the kickstand is not a problem but performance is so abysmal I can basically keep only one application open at the time.
I often wondered what I was doing wrong since many people are reasonably happy with its performance but never found an answer, even after disabling everything that can be disabled.
- syllogism 6y agoDid you check the heat? Maybe you got a lemon and it was constantly being CPU throttled.
- ABS 6y agothanks, it's slow as soon as it starts while everything looks normal (CPU, temp, etc). And I got the higher spec Go so proper SSD, max RAM, etc
- rsynnott 6y agoDo you have the lowest-end model? It had 4GB of RAM and _eMMC storage_. In 2018. That should be expected to be extremely slow. Even the top-spec model is pretty anemic hardware and is not going to be fast, though. I think you'd have to have pretty low expectations to be happy with the performance.
- CosmicShadow 6y agoI bought the cheap one as I couldn't resist the form factor, but by god, I'd rather walk upstairs and do something quickly on a real computer, then stay on the couch and try to even open it or load a single tab. I can't figure out how it can possibly be that slow. I'm so disappointed :( It sits there ready to go, but it's too painful to touch :/
- vb6sp6 6y agoHere is how i use it 1. netflix\youtube 2. outlook\office - perfect for writing emails and reviewing docs when out of the office 3. remoting into a more powerful computer - I RDC into my desktop at home or work if I need to run an ide or do any other heavy lifting (i got the model with 8gb ram and the faster processor)
