Hello, I am writing this here because I was thinking that if there is a solution, it would be nice to exist in the forums for future users.
If no one responds here, I will open a support request and paste the solution here.
I bought the laptop of the title and also provided a review on the link below.
https://www.pcspecialist.co.uk/foru...500-16GB-RAM-M2-SSD-256GB&highlight=UltraNote
In short, my main specs are:
i7-7500U, M2.SSD 256GB by Samsung, 26GB Ram.
I am using ubuntu linux, but also tried another distribution as well. Haven't tried winodws because there is no need.
Here is my problem:
I am on hold of two other laptops.
The one laptop is a Lenovo Y50-70 which is quite strong, 8GB RAM, 128SSD drive, 6th generation i7 and a NVidia 940M.
The second in the office though, an HP Pro, is an old laptop that should not even come close to my UltraNote. It comes with a simple i5-32xx and again with an SSD of 256GB and 8GB of RAM.
I checked benchmarks online, and the i5 of my HP pro is times slower than the i7-7500U. And of course the M2 drive is much faster than the SSD (like 3 to 4 times). The RAM is faster as well.
So the UltraNote should behave close, and maybe even much better, with the Lenovo laptop which was a high performance when it was released, for any non Graphics demanding job.
So I am a developer and I do websites.
We have a bash script that installs automatically the website and it is running php.
Before we go into solutions of 'did I turn it off and on again', I should mention I tried 2 different installations while formatting 4 times and testing with the bare minimum packages, no debuggers running, only the absolutely necessary packages in Linux.
The results are really bad. While the browser, the IDE, and everything that need RAM and the drive, work much better than both of the above laptops, scripts and other processes that require the CPU are failing misserably.
I am working on Drupal (which is irrelevant) and a clean bare site installation, for both the above old laptops takes ~1 minute. The UltraNote IV takes ~2 minutes and 15". What's even worse, is that my current project, which is larger than normal, in the first 2 laptops takes between ~2-3 minutes and in the new laptop it takes an enormous amount of ~6-7. I am calling it enormous because I would expect to be even faster than the other two.
I tried really everything. I tried disabling the powersaving mode and selecting performance as a governor for my CPU and I only managed to lower it by about a minute, so still > 5'.
This is really bad for a laptop of that magnitude.
I read that there could be a thing with the CPU throttling but this is insane. It's a laptop that can reach high performance in simple tasks and scripts processing and it is actually behaving worse than old competitors.
Please advice... or if anyone knows something and has solved that already....
