New Laptop - Delay onscreen when typing?

Mull3t · 26 Nov 2018 at 07:50

Picked up the below Laptop from Lenovo at the weekend, ive noticed though that no matter what program I am using there is a 1 to 2 second delay on what I type to what appears on the screen which is becoming annoying and certainly wouldnt expect this from a new laptop which makes me think maybe a setting somewhere??

I am quite a fast typer but still, shouldnt be experiencing this.

Spec
Model Lenovo Ideapad 720
Intel i5 7200U CPU 2.50Ghz
8GB DDR RAM
256GB SSD
Running 64bit Win10.

Any ideas?

Tried re-installing graphics drivers? Sounds like dodgy intel drivers that.

I haven’t, I will give that a go when I get back. Dunno why didn’t think of that first.

And if that doesn't work I'd check task manager to see if any abnormal CPU usage or RAM usage? I've seen on some systems if resources get drained then everything including typing lags.

Cheers dude seems updating the driver seemed to fix it!! Nice and simple.

I find the Intel drivers proper buggy sometimes, the other month my screen was proper glitching as if the GPU was dieing, turned out that was the drivers as well!
