If your MacBook is taking a lot of time while opening apps or during multitasking like switching between apps, chances are high that its RAM is unable to run multiple apps simultaneously or perhaps some resource-hogging apps arenвЂ™t leaving much RAM for others to run smoothly. For those unfamiliar, RAM stands for Random Access Memory and plays a vital role in offering read and write access to a computer (or any storage device) so that it can run smoothly. But worry not, you can fix your slow MacBook by upgrading the RAM/Hard Drive or both. Yes, you read that right! Due to the outdated or low configuration, Mac often takes too long to boot and even apps feel relatively slow while running. So, letвЂ™s follow along! If a MacBook is lagging, taking unusually a lot longer to boot, and applications are quite slow to respond, the current configuration might not be capable of running the latest iteration of macOS as well as the newer version of apps installed on the device. Not just that, we will also delve deeper into whether itвЂ™s worth spending the extra bucks and also bring to light the tradeoffs that must be given serious consideration before going for the upgrade.
