Yeah but you replied to friendly advice with a disdainful, huffy emoji, it comes off as kind of rude. At least use words to say what made you dissatisfied with my answer and people would be happy to help you. No need to be rude.
Hi Ryan,
The place to begin as far as your new computer is probably looking at any tweaks/improvements such as mentioned here: https://www.cantabilesoftware.com/glitchfree/
I would look at the audio driver next, make sure it's an ASIO driver, If you have another soundcard to try I would suggest it as an option. I would strongly advise against using the motherboard audio chip.
In Live Preferences you shouldn't have to set much, make sure the audio buffer size isn't too small (I'd suggest 512 or 1024).
As for Serum, the poly in the lower-right corner is the most important thing to know about and watch. Most extreme CPU situations are because of pulling extreme numbers of voices. Keeping Poly count or unison sensible when needed - a rule of thumb would be don't exceed 64 voices in the fraction in the lower-right corner (eg Massive forces a cap at 64 voices, Serum does not).
Also make sure Serum shows 1.113 on "build" on the Global tab.
Hope this helps, Steve
edit: the skin has been claimed!
> So before anyone trips out about the legality of this post, I OWN THIS SKIN. It is NOT a bootleg copy of one someone else paid for. This is the original skin that I acquired, legitimately, from the creator's web-store.
> Anyway lol the reason I'm giving this away is because I won it in a giveaway he hosted recently, however, I had already purchased this particular skin in the past. Figured I'd give it to someone else to use!

It ain't a laptop but if you're lookin to running serum (along with basically all of your other music production endeavors) with zero issues and really low latency I'd recommend this
An absolute steal when it comes to what you pay vs what you get. The only real downside is the cosmetic condition of the case (might be a bit scuffed)
I'd highly recommend it for almost anyone, though
