My Samsung laptop, which has an i5 processor, has been performing really slowly lately. I'm not super tech-savvy, so I'd appreciate straightforward advice. I checked for viruses, and it says I'm clean, but it still lags when I use Chrome or watch YouTube. Also, it heats up quickly. Any ideas on what might be causing this?

It could be useful to run a general cleanup. Things like temporary files or a cluttered hard drive can lead to performance issues. You can also look into upgrading your RAM if you find that your laptop is running low on memory during tasks.
It sounds like your laptop might have some underlying issues. Try checking the temperatures of your CPU and GPU using HW Monitor. Sometimes overheating can cause lagging. Also, make sure to keep your system clean by removing unnecessary apps or files. They can slow things down significantly.
