I currently have a Dell Inspiron 5548 that has been very slow. Seems that the disk and CPU are always close or at 100%. I've performed many tests without resolution. Others seem to have the same issues with this model. I am starting to wonder if my hard drive is just failing. Reinstalling windows seems to temporarily fix it, however, I think the Windows updates are hurting it. It was purchased around 7 years ago I believe.
Dell Inspiron 5548
Intel Core i5-5200U 2.2GHz
8gb Ram
64 bit
I am wondering if its just getting old and it would be worth it to just grab a deal on another laptop on cyber monday. Do laptops typically last this long without issues? Can you look at my hardware and see how outdated I am? Do you think it would be worth it to pick a new one up? If so, any suggestions around the $700 range?
Thanks.
