I got a laptop in December, for Christmas. I shared it with my brother and it was awesome. It was a HP Pavilion dv5-2134nr. These were the tech specs for that computer:
Hard Drive: 500GB
RAM: 4GB
Processor: AMD Anthlon II P340 Dual Core @ 2.10GHz
OS: Windows 7 Home Preimum 64-bit
One problem with that computer. I shared it with my brother and we needed our own. So 4 days ago, it was my birthday, and 3 days ago, on the 23rd of May, my computer arrived. It is a Dell Inspiron 15R. These are the tech specs:
Hard Drive: 500GB
RAM: 4GB
Processor: Intel Core i3-2310M Quad Core @ 2.10GHz
OS: Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit
I expected this to be an upgrade, from an basic dual-core AMD processor to a Intel i3, but it wasn't an upgrade. For now, I'm going to ignore all the other problems with this computer, but focus on trying to find out why I get 1-10fps and lag extremely on my new, Dell computer, yet on my old HP computer I would get 25-40fps and lag would be almost non-existant.
Can someone help me with this problem, tell me why it lags so much? I run the same programs, Firefox and Skype, I checked Task Manager and I closed all excess applications, but it still lags terribly, even with my Render Distance on short and Smooth Lighting off. This is really frustrating me and I'm ready to return this computer and get an HP since Dell can't make a good computer if their lives depended on it.

I am currently beating Minecraft Forum's silly & stupid limits. This signature will definitely be more than 2 lines long. Who da fudge even came up with that silly rule?
Ha ha MCF
Minecraft is definitely a lot worse now.
I'm serious
I don't see how anyone can legitimately play this game and have fun
Wanna know why I think it's so bad?
It took Mojang over 2 months to finish 1.8
My reaction when 1.8 came out?
LOL is this some kind of joke?
Then I sadly figured out that it wasn't a joke.
1. Less updates, much less frequently.
They are implementing features that suck
Example?
Hunger system.
The hunger system sucks.
Do I have to explain why?
No seriously, do I really have to explain why? Look at the many threads about it on this forum.
I'm against the hunger system
2. They add in pointless updates, even some that make the game worse.
I don't feel like finishing this post with more reasons, maybe I'll do it later.
Anyways, at the end of the day, Minecraft has been sucking lately.
Oh yeah!
Take this Minecraft Forum! My signature is longer than 2 lines! HA HA HA HA HA.
Something I left out from the OP, it's not just 1.6 or 1.6.4. When 1.5_01 was out, it lagged just as equal (on my new computer).

I know both HP and Dell have a bad rep, but HP was amazing for me, and is going to be my most trusted manufacturer. Dell is just terrible, my dad wanted me to buy a Dell even though I protested.
What's the easiest way to find your GPU? I'm pretty sure on my new computer it's like Integrated Intel HD, I'm not sure about my old one though. Is the "Integrated Intel HD" bad? It sounds pretty basic :/

When it says "Integrated" it means its a pretty basic video card built into a motherboard. That might be your problem right there.
Also, make sure your render distance isn't on "FAR" make sure its on anything below normal because thats too much render distance than your Integrated can handle. Another thing to make sure is that your graphics for the game are on "FAST" and not "FANCY"
My old computer has a ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4250 GPU, and my new computer has a Integrated Intel HD.

So my issue is that my graphics card pretty much sucks? Because on Tiny Render Distance, Fast Graphics and Smooth Lighting off, it still lags. :/

I'm looking at new computers, is a "Intel HD Graphics" GPU also bad? It doesn't use the word integrated.

To get technical: Your CPU is probably being bottlenecked.
What I mean by this is with your laptop the Integrated Graphics + Dual Core CPU were working well together because of the speed of your Dual Core "wasn't too fast" for it.
But now that you have an i3 my guess is that CPU is too fast for the integrated Graphics card to "catch up"; which is giving you the bottleneck in FPS.
You effectively downgraded in all gaming aspects. There's nothing you can do about this. You cannot upgrade a laptop GPU. Sorry =/
All you can really do is try to optimize here and there to try and get minecraft running as best you can, but the best you'll get is 'meh'

Did your world disappear from minecraft? Is it corrupt? Lags? Can't move? "Saving Chunks" Crash? Crashes when you open chests? It can be saved!

So I'm just gonna return my laptop and get a full refund (it's within Dell's 21-day return period) and get a computer with a similar graphics card. Thanks so much for your help guys.
EDIT: Similar graphics card to my old computer (ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4250)

Didn't see your new Dell was a laptop, my bad. But like the guy above me said, basically your gonna have to do with what you have.
