LB..

heres some more info and my reply...
(if you think im wrong you can fact check me by going on gearspace.com
where there are tons of very experienced studio owners.)

1..re your Dell...
is this your dell xps ??

https://www.techradar.com/reviews/pc-mac/pc-mac-desktops/dell-xps-18-1137185/review

2..if so...the specs indicate the processor is i7 4510u.
(please confirm.)

3..as you will see not all i7's are equal..
eg...here are the performance specs for your 4510u..

https://www.cpubenchmark.net/cpu.php?cpu=Intel+Core+i7-4510U+%40+2.00GHz

sad to say the performance is poor compared to other i7's.
and the single and multithread scores are low.
(1557 and 2617. NOTE...music work is lots of math by an app.)
(page down right hand side)..i prefer to see much much better scores.
the link above also compares the 4510u to lots of other processors.

(fyi ive had many people say to me over the years...
'but i paid tons of money for this *expletive* pc.'
and "my friend paid lots less and has no probs'.
the answer is one needs the right pc config for music.)

3..whether its a bb problem or not please read my optimisation tips in
pg tips forum and note point one in the tips..
run this utility which will give clues as to why you might get glitches
or other probs..like latency...its all a process of elimination...like detective work...lol.

https://resplendence.com/latencymon

in fact you might want to run LMON on your other pc and see what it reports for that one.

please report back what the results are so people can help you.

4..as a benchmark my production pc which only cost a few hundred bucks boots into win from cold and into rb or bb very fast.
please post back how long your times are with the dell.
it would also be helpfull to post back a pic of your win task mgr
showing all the active tasks at any point in order to be thorough..
to see if other processes are interfering with bb.

note...irrespective whether its a bb prob or not i suspect that
the dell needs optimising...if thats never been done.

a question for everyone...is anyone else have this stutter prob
with bb 2025 ?? ie useing an external kbd ??
or is all smooth sailing ?? (i work differently.)

LB please post back re the details ive asked for.

happiness.
