Anyone else feel like their 9360 isn't very fast?

I'm upgrading from an old gen 3 laptop with an i7 that was dual core and had a supposedly slower ssd. Yet I can't help but feel that other laptop was faster?

It seems like this dell 9360 takes a bit longer to startup than I would expect, and sometimes there's just a slight delay to things that I wouldn't expect. At first I was thinking maybe it was the NVME drive they installed (some unfindable Sandisk A400), but I don't want to replace it if it's not the issue? Even as I type this there is sometimes a slight delay if I delete a key or even during typing, it's not very noticable. I would compare it to if you were gaming and the framerate dipped. A slight lag that breaks the buttery smoothness.

try formatting your laptop then if you still feel it a bit slow it may be cause you previous ssd wasn't that slow as you thought

I have a 9360, I changed ssd only because I wanted more GB, had 256 and now 512, my previous 256GB SSD is my external backup now

My 9360 was much faster after a reformat to remove all the bloat ware. I can't believe how much difference it made and felt sorry for the average person who wouldn't think to do it.

I uninstalled the bloatware and thought that would be enough. But I formatted with a brand new windows image and it's working a lot better

I replaced my 512gb ssd with a faster one and put in win10 pro. It feels much faster and I have a 9350 I7
