MacBook lagging like it’s stuck in treacle? At Computer Assistance in OXFORD, UK, we’ve sped up hundreds of Macs. Here’s why it’s slow and how we fix it:
Culprit 1: Full SSD: Check “About This Mac” > Storage—if it’s 90% full, it’s choking. We swap in a 1TB NVMe SSD for £150.
Culprit 2: RAM Crunch: 8GB struggling with Photoshop? We upgrade to 16GB (£120) for buttery multitasking.
Culprit 3: Software Bloat: Too many startup apps? Open System Settings > General > Login Items and axe the junk—or we’ll do it in 20 minutes flat.
Our Fix: A 2017 MacBook Air came in crawling—15-second app launches. We cloned it to a Samsung SSD, bumped RAM to 16GB, and zapped caches. Result? 3-second launches, £250 total.
