I have this laptop (Precision 5510, 32GB RAM, i7-6820HQ) for about one week and all I have done until now are optimizations (Windows/Ubuntu) and still the computer behaves so slow (compared to every laptop I had before). It gives me a pretty bad feeling. For that price I expected that everything to work seamlessly. The pre-boot time takes 8-10 seconds (and I'm not the only one having this issue. Check here). Until I get to Windows/Linux I need to wait another 20 seconds.Every application starts with a small delay (~ 1 sec).Resizing an application is a slow process. My BIOS/drivers are up to date. In Ubuntu (16.04, 64 bits):- I updated the kernel to 4.7.5-040705 (before that I tried 4.5 and 4.6) - the Nvidia driver is now on 370.28 version (before that I tried also 361.45, 364.19, 367.44 and 370.28)In Windows (10 Pro, 64 bits), the same: the latest drivers are installed. I thought that maybe there is an issue with the SSD and you can read here my question. No answer. I really don't know what else to do.
Hi, I just received my Precision 5510 with Ubuntu 14.04 pre-installed. I noticed the Ubuntu installed on the laptop is not a vanilla Ubuntu distro. For example, it has a few additional DELL specific apt repos added to it. Or it has the Recovery Disk creator app pre-installed, etc. I've created a Recovery USB already, but does DELL host this slightly modified OEM ISO for the Ubuntu somewhere on their servers for download -- in case someone loses the recovery media and needs to download it from somewhere? Also I noticed that DELL specific repos for 16.04 are already on Ubuntu's repos (dell.archive.ubuntu.com/.../xenial). Does it mean that 16.04 is good to go for my laptop now? And if I want to clean install 16.04, does DELL provide a customised ISO file with their apt repos already pre-configured and extra apps pre-installed? Two more questions:  Thanks in advance.
