Got my 2GB Y50 from TheDoStore 2 weeks back. Have installed some basic software such as Office 365 Trial, iTune, VLC Media player, WinRar, and low duty 7-8 more. I am not a gamer and have just installed free Asphalt 8 for graphics test. Few problems I am facing:
1. I was expecting much better i/o performance. I moved 2.2 GB from D: partition to C: partition and the AVERAGE transfer speed is 200-300 KB/s with max reaching 4 MB/s. Not sure what is going on?
2. Moved 2+ GB from Y50 HDD to 3.0 USB Transcend drive and speed I could get was in the order of 4-5 MB/s
3. While playing Asphalt 8 frames hang momentarily though I thought it would be a super smooth ride with Y50 graphic and CPU config
4. Was expecting applications such as Outlook and similar to open up in a jiffy or in few seconds in a multi-task env. Not really happening. Am I expecting too much from Y50? God knows when my Y50 is fully loaded as my current 6 years old HP 6710s laptop is with the apps/services then what will happen! I am yet to install development tools such as Oracle 11g, IDE etc etc
Hope I am doing something not right here and some calibration is pending at my end to address these basic issues. Please advice. Have I made a wrong choice?
