I recently got the Samsung Notebook 9 NP900X5N and it happens to run very very slow, I had the system running at 13.2GB free (C: Drive) and the second one, the D drive has 93GB free. The problem on the C: drive is that it's basically only the system files, and there is nothing that I can free, I tried disable hibernating which did give me 19.2GB but I dont think that's enough.
The system however has very good specs for basic tasks, 16GB RAM, Intel Core i7-7500 CPU 2.70GHz (7th Gen), Intel HD Graphics 620 and and with only running windows 11, and a task manager, the SSD is at 1 or 2% useage (makes sense) and is of 256GB in total, 7% CPU useage and 4% GPU useage, with 4GB RAM out of 16GB being used. Despite all of this, the system is very very slow, and boot time is longer than expected, even longer than my 8GB RAM, Core i3-8100 and Integrated UHD 630, despite beating it almost on all fronts. And also, every app takes a long time to load up, again, compared to my weaker desktop.
Lastly, I would want to address the battery, I heard it shall be atleast running for 12-15 hours, but the battery but at 70% I have a time of 4 hours left, at almost minimum brightness, and again with basically doing nothing. I'm shocked to see this especially when there is a literal sticker saying: "NVIDIA OPTIMUS" with "GREAT BATTERY LIFE" and "GREAT PERFORMANCE" engraved below. (Edit: The battery capacity is 69%)
Any help will be appreciated, I really need this system to work, since I have a lot of stuff pending. Please suggest what must be changed, replaced, improved to make it live again.
It sounds like your system drive (C:) is too full, which can slow things down drastically. Try moving large files or apps to the 😧 drive and keep at least 25–30GB free on C:. Also, check Samsung Magician to verify SSD health and run a cleanup. For battery, update BIOS and drivers—older firmware often causes fast drain.
I did try emptying it, and only the OS takes up all the space, because I didn't ever use it. I did partitioning and such that the entire C: drive the only one that existed, still there isn't any change in performance.
