I've recently purchased a Samsung Series 7 all-in-one computer. Having used iMacs all my life, and the need for a Windows computer for programming, I opted for this machine.
Here is a screenshot of my specs before I continue:
At times the system is unresponsive. All I have open is Visual Studio Express 2012 and Chrome with 4 tabs open. When I switch to Visual Studio it has to restart and crashes. The application I'm developing is tiny, so it's not an issue with that. Sometimes when using Chrome if I open a new tab the whole computer will freeze for 20 odd seconds.
Even when I ctrl+alt+del to open task manager, the task manager takes some time to open.
I've disabled visual effects, but I've not noticed much difference. It came with 4GB ram, but I got another 4GB to top it up to 8GB.
In comparison to my 2010 Sony Vaio laptop this computer is much slower. I can't understand why.
I'm tempted to downgrade to Windows 7 but then I will lose my touch features, and I will have to purchase Windows 7.
Any ideas on how to fix these issues? I really can't see it being a performance issues as my system specs are far from poor for programming work.
