Dell 3000 Series Inspiron15 (3558) - anyone know how to do to increase performance?

What is the best way to get the best performance from my laptop without spending a lot of money and the warranty?

Does make a difference to have most of my files on an external hard drive to my internal drive?

Also, I would like to know how to find out what drivers now, I installed against those that I did not.

Thank you for your time and effort.   I want just to optimize my capabilities of computers.

The external drive is limited not by the USB 3.0 interface, but internally - no disc hard spinning can't come anywhere close to USB 2.0 speeds, not to mention USB 3.0.  Add in the pilot's head and an external hard drive will be slower that any internal drive, all things being equal.

If you want the fastest, you can obtain, replace the internal drive with an SSD and use the external hard drive for data storage - NOT to run programs.

    For example, you specify that the device does not display the lock screen, correct? Do you use Touch IDS? If so, try to put your finger on the device to see if it's what he wants.

    Recently, I deleted my partition bootcamp about 65 GB space. However, after that I restarted my MAC, the 65GB is lost!

    The total space in my HD is currently 434GB although it should be 500 GB! Anyone know how to recover my space 65GB?

    See below for my disk utility:

    Hello waynetay,

    Thank you for being part of the community of Apple!

    Looks like you want to recover the hard disk space that has been used by Bootcamp.  I know how critical disk hard space is, as I understand it want to access it.

    The Boot Camp Assistant should have added space on the side of Mac OS X from the hard drive when it has been used to remove Windows.  Since that didn't happen, you need to back up the system, and then erase the hard drive, then restore the backup.

    First, back up the computer.  Your computer has software called Time Machine.  It is a fantastic software for backing up your computer.  Information on how to use Time Machine is available here:

    Use Time Machine to back up or restore your Mac.

    Once you have the backup, you must erase the drive and then restore the backup Time Machine.

    You can use these measures to erase files on your startup drive and install a fresh copy of OS X:

    1. Before you begin, make sure that your Mac is connected to the Internet.
    2. Restart your Mac. Immediately hold down the command (⌘) keys and R after having heard the startup sound to boot into OS X Recovery.
    3. When the recovery window, select disk utility, then click on continue.
    4. Select the volume name back from your startup disk in the left side of the disk utility window, then click Delete.
    5. If you want to erase the disc safely, click Security Options. Select an erasing method, and then click OK.
    6. On the Format menu, choose Mac OS extended (journaled). Type a name for your drive, and then click clear.
    7. After that the drive is deleted, close the disk utility window.
    8. If you are not connected to the Internet, select a network in the Wi-Fi menu.
    9. Select the option to reinstall OS X.
    10. Click on continue and follow the instructions on the screen to reinstall OS X.

    Once OS X installation is complete, you should have the option to restore from a backup Time Machine in the first installation of OS X.  Choose this option, and the computer will restore everything that was on it before it has been removed.  More information can be found here:

    How to reinstall OS X on your Mac

    Have a great day!

This is a feature of most annoying that one should be able to disable if not needed. I use windows xp family and have the latest desktop version of FF, but I don't think that they are the problem. Thank you very much.
