<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 8pt;font-size:12pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">I’ll take another look this evening. I hadn’t noticed
anything unusual running in the background, but it’s always worth a double
check.</p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 8pt;font-size:12pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">No, I’m using wired earbuds. Actually, when I’ve paired the
laptop with my AirPods, the experience works well. I mean, when there are
pauses and speech blackouts, for lack of a better term, it’s business as usual,
but when the speech is running fine, there’s barely any noticeable latency.</p>

On new computers that I have purchased in the past, I often have to pay the supplier to remove what I affectionately call bloatware. Lenovo is fortunately not guilty of as much bloatware as HP or Dell, but I suspect something is running in the background that could just as well be turned off.
