Hi, your laptop slow down because if im correct, Android Studio IDE is pretty heavy? if not correct me but i believe it is . I dont know how old is your laptop but try to shut down other applications throw task manager and just work with Android. I hope this can help you .

You may eaither have old pc and you cant do much . Like i do , i do have windows but if i want to develop in sublime, its just slow as a baby walking on 4 legs .

Hope this helped .

I have Asus intel i5 2.27 GHz intel core inside with 1 GB ATI Graphics. 4 GB RAM. 500 GB Hard Disk. I feel its enough specification to run any programme smoothly but this Android IDE make it so slow not allow me to work smoothly on it. Even it takes long way to open. In such environment how to learn faster.

Im not sure but 2.27 GHz ? thats pretty low in 2015 as long as i know, maybe, but maybe it might be this. I cant be 100% , i did study a about this but not sure if it could be actualy GHz. As your other spec are good .

Try maybe searching about GHz with a lot of different questions for google. You might get a idea maybe of something. I hope this help, if not , well, then i don't know .

Happy Coding! :)
