I've had my laptop for about 6 months now and I've noticed it's been getting slower and slower. I've tried closing unnecessary apps, updating my OS, and even cleaning the dust out of the vents. Still, it's taking forever to launch apps and load web pages. Has anyone else experienced this? Are there any specific steps I can take to speed it up or is it time to consider upgrading? I've been putting off buying a new laptop but I'm starting to get frustrated with the performance.
