Maybe your memory could be impacting how your laptop runs.
I possess 16GB of RAM, yet it seems that performance is still being impacted. I’m experiencing noticeable delays I hadn’t before. Using Photoshop or typing causes lag. I’ve already replaced some memory modules (23GB total) and felt a significant improvement compared to my current setup. Unfortunately, I had to return them for various reasons. The waiting time for these improvements is becoming frustrating. Is it really the best approach to upgrade with brand new memory? The two 8GB modules installed are about four years old, which shouldn’t be an issue. A new fast SSD helped a bit, but it didn’t resolve the lag problem.
Thermal throttling could be the issue, given the sudden changes. It might help to clean a bit and see if it improves performance. RAM doesn’t seem to be the main cause of delays.
It seems you're experiencing performance issues despite having more than 70% RAM. The lag persists even when using only 30%.
