No need to rush out and buy the latest Mac every year. The Mac holds its value for 5 to 8 years. Even so, we can recognize the signs of a Mac that’s not quite in its prime anymore. Booting up seems to take forever and simple actions bring up the color wheel begging you to be patient.
Upgrade RAM Memory
First, check the Memory size and the Storage condition. You’ll want to have at least 4GB of memory, costs $39. Or 8GB for about $75. Let us check your hard disk at no charge. If it is healthy, we recommend updating the OS to 10.11 El Capitan in most cases. You can do it yourself, although it is safer and faster if we do it for you. In case the hard disk needs replacement, we will give you a free price quote. Most of this support can take place within the hour. See our blog on OS Update.
Upgrade to SSD
To improve your Mac speed, the best upgrade is to replace that disk with a solid-state drive (SSD). SSD drives don’t have any moving parts, so they’re significantly faster. Prices have dropped 40% lately, making it much less expensive than purchasing a new Mac. Benefits of an SSD: faster boot-up, faster opening and operating applications.
