I've been using my HP laptop for studying and social media, but it's been really slow for the past 3-4 months. Even just opening a couple of tabs in Google makes it lag significantly. I can't even scroll properly on sites like Reddit anymore. I'm wondering if I should take it to a repair shop or if there's something else I can do to fix it. Also, if I decide to go for repairs, what would be the estimated cost and time to get it sorted out in India?

First off, make sure to check what's running on your laptop. Open up Task Manager to see if any programs are using a lot of your system's resources. Since you mentioned it has 4 GB of RAM and an Intel Core i3, this might be a good moment to consider upgrading your RAM if possible, as that's often a simple way to improve performance. If you're not comfortable doing this yourself, visiting a repair shop can help, and they can also perform a clean-up for better efficiency.
If you're not very tech-savvy, it might be easier to take it to a repair shop. They can do a diagnostic and tell you if there's a hardware issue or if it's just software-related. In terms of cost, it may vary, but you could expect anywhere between ₹1500 to ₹5000 depending on the problem and the service quality. As for timing, it could typically take a few days to a week for repairs.
