I bought a notebook as a replacement to my destop pc and admit it is pretty slow eventhough specs are better. My notebook is a Asus from the R500V serie with a core i7 @ 2.3 cpu, 4 GB ram and a 5200 rpm hdd running w7 premium x64.
I'm trying to understand what is causing the slow down. The parts are for mobile use so I can't really upgrade anything else than the hdd.
This is the index by windows
cpu 7.3
ram 5.9
gpu 5.3
gaming 6.5
hdd 5.9

Does anyone know what I can do to improve general performances?

Thank you kindly!
