Laptop with decent specs works slow and lags

[aditya510]

Hi Everyone. (New to this forum)
I have a ASUS S400CA. (4GB, 500GB HDD, Intel 3rd Generation i7)
I bought it in July 14 and it's has never worked to well. It always lags and when initially started, it takes Chrome 15 seconds to load. I know the laptop specs are decent but then also it's not working as smooth as expected. Many a times it hangs and does not work until the Windows key is pressed repeatedly.
Upgrade to 10 has worsened the situation and now it works slower than ever.
I have tried several fixes like ensuring all cores are working, enabling "performance mode" and defragment. I have also deleted bloatware that came from the manufacturer.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks in Advance.

I'd contact ASUS since it should be in warranty before messing too much with it.

Did you try a factory restore? Chrome can be a bit slow also.
