Keep sufficient memory on the hard disc
Have necessary data on the device and store extra data on a hard disc or flash drive. When you give a command the system looks at all the files stored in the memory and prompts when found. When less space is occupied the system has to work less to locate the commanded file.
Shut the laptop once in a while
Put the screen down and the device goes into hibernation. This allows the accumulation of piles of junk or bundles of cache memory within the RAM. The RAM struggles with less space to accept more commands. So, ensure to shut the system down more often.
