Brand New AsusZenbook is incredibly slow

[beyondthegong]

This is ridiculous I got 900$ Asus zenbook but when I first opened to watch funimation it couldn't even load I even got cleaner and its still horrible I can't believe this is the 1. Best gaming laptop when it sucks so much I have good WiFi 5 bar too. I can't even surf because every new tab or website takes 30 seconds to load I shouldn't be dealing with this when all I wanted to do was relax with it.

I would say that Windows 10 and all the drivers may not have installed properly. Try installing the most recent wifi drivers from Asus. If that does not help, then try a factory restore and then install the most recent Asus wifi drivers.

If that does not fix the issue, then call the seller for an RMA because you got a lemon which can happen from time to time. Return it for another Zenbook or for a refund.

Should you be dealing with it? Well, no - depending on doing your homework etc. Most laptops come with a decent amount of bloatware pre-installed. I've never owned a ZenBook, so can't confirm - but I would assume there are resource hogs installed.

Open task manager - how does your CPU / Memory / Disk usage look? If one (or more) of those are at/near 100%, something is using your resources, and we need to dig further into that.

If this is simply a new laptop you've booted up for the first time, and connected to the internet - chances are it's currently downloading a whole bunch of updates etc, and that'll take time.
