Laptop Sluggish While Working on 3D Game Animations – Anyone Faced This?

Hey everyone,

I’ve been running into a bit of a headache lately—my laptop slows down like crazy whenever I’m working on 3D game animations, especially when using tools like Unity or Blender. It’s making the whole workflow really frustrating.

I’ve already done the usual clearing up disk space, updating drivers, disabling background apps, etc.—but it still struggles during animation previews or when importing complex rigs.

Anyone else dealt with this kind of slowdown during game dev work? Is it just my hardware not keeping up, or are there optimizations I’m missing? Also, random thought: has anyone explored wearable tech or some kind of AI tools to monitor or improve dev performance? Maybe something that could give real-time feedback or adjust system usage automatically?

Would appreciate any tips or insights especially from other devs working on animation-heavy projects.

I have been having a bit of a struggle with my laptop lately. It’s been running super slow, and it's really affecting my workflow. I'm not sure what’s causing the lag. I’ve tried the usual fixes like clearing cache, deleting unnecessary files, and even running a virus scan, but nothing seems to help. Has anyone else faced similar issues? If so, how did you resolve it?

I’m curious if integrating such tech could potentially help in diagnosing and preventing the kinds of slowdowns I’m experiencing with my laptop. Also, if anyone knows of any specific wearable applications OR tech that can help with laptop maintenance or productivity, I'd love to hear about them.

What are your thoughts on using wearable tech to enhance our daily tech interactions? Do you think it could help with issues like laptop performance, or do you have any other tips to speed up a slow laptop?

Looking forward to your insights!

Well turns out guys i just had to disconnect everything. I was attempting the removal with the display and digitizer connectors still attached, but now i disconnected them and the board came out successfully.

did you resolve the issue? If so how did you fix it? Mine is doing the same, any help would be greatly appreciated

Besides cleaning the scroll wheel if it's dirty, I don't think there's much you can do physically. However, you might be able to adjust your PC's settings to scroll further.

I'm using Windows 11 but the steps are probably similar for Windows 10. Sorry if you're on Mac.

Open the "Settings" app, click on "Bluetooth & devices" on the left side, click on "Mouse", and under the "Scrolling" section adjust the "Lines to scroll at a time" slider. Test your mouse on a browser or something until you are happy with the setting.

Use tire balancing or tire alignment.
