Hey guys, I recently got myself a brand new Cyborg 15 A13V with i7-13620H, RTX 4060 and 16 GB of RAM from Amazon's Black Friday deals. It came with Windows 11 pre-installed and I set it up yesterday without any issues. Once everything was done, I started doing my regular settings (like setting the wallpaper to simple black color), I don't care about fancy features, wallpapers or anything. I always keep everything at the minimum and close all the unnecessary features because I am more into performance than quality. While doing my settings, I noticed small hiccups like freezes, lags, etc. These freezes became worse in 5 minutes after I tried to run 3-5 Chrome tabs and I had nothing to do but to reset the PC and install it from scratch. Same issues occurred once the fresh installment was done and then I used MSI's factory reset option to reset it once again but again, it changed nothing. Oh and I installed all the necessary drivers from MSI's website as well as Nvidia.

I checked BIOS (which surprisingly has very few settings to tweak compared to my old PC) and everything looked normal. I constantly check the system usages through MSI Center, Task Manager and Nvidia control center, nothing seems off. Even when it freezes, the temperature and hardware usage seems normal (around 30% CPU and 60-70% RAM).

I ran 3DMark's demo test and here are the results:

Best: 2604
Average: 2200
My PC's performance: 1619

I think I tried everything I could. There were a couple of Windows updates stuck in all 3 of my reset tries. Then I found the updates online and installed them manually (except for KB5046617 which takes ages to download and install).

I tried playing League of Legends yesterday and I didn't see any lags or freezes. The game started with around 500 FPS and then dropped to 120-200 later in the game during team fights. I didn't check the temps or hardware monitor, but I didn't have any issues.

These freezes and lags don't make the PC unusable or anything (at least 80% of the time), but it feels like this PC has a lot more to offer. It feels like something doesn't work as it should and it affects performance. My old desktop had Ryzen 5 3600 and RX 590 with 32 GB of RAM, and I am 100% sure it had better performance.

I am not a super geek but I am also not a rookie. What could be the issue? I feel like these constant freezes and lags could be tied to Windows because the hardware monitor shows no issues. Should I return this laptop? I am looking forward to your replies!
 
it's a laptop
temperatures are more essential than in a PC
check again when all windows updates were done
update the bios
check ssd with manufacturer's tool and update the firmware of it if available
check ram by memtest
update Intel me

return laptop or rma it
