My new laptop keeps randomly freezing for a few seconds during normal use

That sounds rough a laptop freezing for no clear reason is really frustrating. Might be hardware but more often software misbehaving. Try a clean boot to test background apps and watch for changes. citeturn0search0

Not sure yet if hardware is the issue could be software or drivers acting up after updates. Open Task Manager to spot any high usage apps and try a clean startup to test. citeturn0search0

In my experience a similar freeze after a update cleared up after a clean reboot and minimal startup items. If it keeps happening run memory check and scan for malware. citeturn0search6

If nothing helps push for support or a repair under warranty rather than hobbling along with random freezes. Also keep temps in check to avoid overheating. citeturn0search6
