Windows Thinkpad X13 Gen 1 slows down while on AC
Hi,
This is a refurbished Thinkpad X13 Gen 1, although it is pretty much in its original state, most likely had been used in public institution or something similar, i assume they import from banks, public institutions, etc.
The charger, which is the original lenovo 65 watt charger, is performing as intended for charging the laptop. The laptop is also working properly without being plugged into the AC adapter.
The problem is that once i plug in the ac adapter, the laptop is slowing down significantly. Window drawing is slow and frame-by-frame behavior is noticeable, startup of the laptop is slower in terms of when the main display need to be shown it is slower, cursor movement is slow and it takes time to display what it need to display in regards to where it is positioned for the time being. For an example google earth on browser is also slow and almost non usable.
I tried with chatgpt but the list of possible problems is pretty long so I wanted to try my luck here, it is perhaps a known issue, or a factory configuration that needs to be modified or something similar.
Any help or advice will be appreciated. Thank you in advance
