Hard Drive.
The CPU doesn't help matters no doubt about it... But anyone who uses a PC will know that the Hard Drive is a big culprit in making anything feel sluggish irrespective of CPU.
For example you can take a decade old dual-core CPU clocked at 2ghz... And it will be dog slow because of the 5400rpm spinning rust, but whack an SSD in there and it feels like a dramatic step up in general OS tasks.

 

I disagree HDD is causing the sluggish UI. However, I have suggested they should put a 64GB - 128GB SSD on the motherboard to handle all the OS functions and perhaps cache. In theory that should speed things up but I don't think it would much, I still blame CPU and optimization primarily.

Yep.  If SSD cannot be entirely used, at least it could as a boot drive and smart cache for the most commonly loaded games/assets/OS functions.

 I think this could be a great solution. Or 1/2 TB hybrid Hard Drive ?
