Time for new laptop?

My laptop is a Lenovo Ideapad 110 (about 8 years old?), and has been upgraded to Win10. About 2 years I thought the WiFI adapter was intermittently giving me problems, so I installed a D-Link USB adapter. It seemed to work ok, althought my laptop gradually got increasingly and painfully slow. So, I installed Auslogic Software several months ago and achieved a marginal, but not great improvement. The WifI speed tests I run are fairly low, around 30Mbps. I do have a new desktop PC in my house and it runs just fine, and it's WiFI speedtest shows a download speed of about 150Mbps.

Today my internet provider was down, so I decided to connect my laptap via Bluetooth to my cell phone hotspot. This is the first time I have done this. I couldn't believe the performance improvement that this resulted in. But he Wifi speed test was only in the 30Mbps range.

So, I have considered buying a new WiFI adapter for my laptop, but was concerned that if it didn't improve things, I just wasted the money and I might be better off just buying a new laptop.

But I like the current of performance that I get with the laptop connected to my cell phone hotspot.

I would be interested in hearing your comments and recommendations.
Thanks,
Brian

Sostituire o aggiungere una scheda audio

La scheda audio interna al PC, segnalata come dispositivo, è veramente scarsa come qualità e come potenza.
Per questo chiedo se non esiste una SCHEDA AUDIO ESTERNA AL PC che integri o sostituisca la funzione della scheda interna.
Il problema è anche un altro. Navigando nella rete, si trovano decine e decine di modelli di schede audio esterne, da pochi euro a migliaia di euro; TUTTE, DICO TUTTE, comprendono nel dispositivo INGRESSI PER MICROFONI, INGRESSI PER STRUMENTI MUSICALI e altre componenti che a me non servono proprio per nulla. Non sono un cantante, non sono un musicista, non suono strumento e non registro. Possibile che non esista sul mercato una scheda audio esterna al pc che faccia SOLO IL LAVORO DI UNA SCHEDA AUDIO DI QUALITA' SE POSSIBILE AUDIOFILA.??????
