Why your Macbook got slow?

Many people consider that MacBook will be faster than Windows computer, but actually MacBook also will get slow if you don’t know how to preserve it. Just likes Windows computer, there will be many junks in your MacBook over time if you never clean it. The more junks stays in the MacBook, the slower will the MacBook become. So regular cleaning your MacBook is really needed if you want to keep your MacBook fast. But what you should clean in your MacBook? Where do the junks locate?

Firstly, when you surf on the Internet on Google chrome or Safari, there will be pictures load and those pictures also other files will occupy your computer resources. As times go by, if you leave it alone, the browser will get slow and also your MacBook will get sluggish. Plus the browser extensions also can make your MacBook get dull. Secondly, you may download many packages before but you haven’t deleted them after extracting. Usually, applications packages have a big size and occupy many hard-drive spaces. You can delete the unused packages and reclaim the hard-drive space. It won’t take any bad effects if you delete the extracted packages. Finally, not only do the browsers create junks, but so do other applications you installed and run on your MacBook. You also need to termly eliminate the unnecessary files which are created by other applications. It also will help to run the applications smoothly and make your MacBook work glidingly.

These startup programs are able to extend the boot time. The more startup programs you have, the longer time you need to spend to get the desktop. Also, too many running programs in the background will make your MacBook torpid. If you run many programs at the same time, most of the CPU resources will be occupied then your MacBook will become sluggish and you will be unable to use those running programs smoothly. Moreover, an obsolete Mac OS X could make your MacBook dull. An excellent OS can make a computer performs trippingly. And an operating system always has bug, so it always keeps updating. Hence the new operating system typically faster than the old one. But as you known, a new OS X costs. If you don’t want to spend money on it, you also can speed up your MacBook in other ways, updating the OS X is not the only way to speed up your MacBook.
