Why Your MacBook’s Running Slow (And How We Fix It)

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.
