565586, I give up
Posted by kittenmueller, Thu Aug-02-18 12:34 AM
So I think this pc is running fine, Bot. How reliable are these benchmarking tests? I have used 2 of them and both tell me this is a POS. I know it is lower end but really? Gives me a CPU of bottom 2 %. says graphics are horrible. I have a Dell 15 5567. It came with 8 g Ram, I added 4. It came with 256 SSD, I put in a 480 SSS instead. I know the graphics, processor etc are not the best but these sites basically said it is JUNK. I have Nothing running at startup except Windows defender. It is malware free. Starts up in 10 seconds ( thank goodness finally). Can anyone explain this to me??
Thanks

Bottom line is...dual core processors are dogs in todays environment. I have owned many laptops in my day and none of them were worth a crap. The old hour glass spinning. The SSD should make it somewhat faster but it's the processor that makes any computer fast.

If you're happy with the performance, don't worry about the benchmarks.

I am very happy with it. I thought I made a decent choice for the price I can afford. I do not game so Its all good.
