My brand new high spec laptop is really slow. Videos on facebook and many sites are so slow and social media feeds and things take ages to load.
 
Yeah that's a pretty new, high end laptop. Hmm, have you tried using a different browser to see if the issues you are having are web browser specific?
 
This could be overheating.
Or not all drivers installed.
While opening web browser i would right click and "run with high end nVidia processor" this will support your i7 processor with graphic card.
also there is a chance some program is running in background or computer is updating itself (downloading/ installing windows updates)

Pleas try to use different web browser like firefox/opera/chrome.
 
What else is running when you start it up?
Often, laptops come with a whole host of crapware that trips all over itself.
 


What was the update I’m having the same problem with my desktop dell xps computer
