Old Macbooks Just Want Love Too

Apple’s MacBook lines are reliable machines that have lasted longer and retained more of their value than many of their windows counterparts.

But of course with time things wear out and as they do things slow down, cables take on damage from everyday use and wear out, and eventually that once fast thoroughbred is plodding along like an old donkey.

With a few repairs and updated components that laptop can be running faster than it ever did when you first got it.

Mechanical Drives Wear Out When you spin at 72,000 rpm from morning till night your going to eventually start to wobble a little bit.

As the tolerance for your data is so precise and the wobble increases with age the drive becomes slower and slower until outright failure.

Most mechanical drives last 3 – 7 years, so slow or sporadic booting failure, delayed file opening are all early signs that a drive is sliding into the grave.

Are you making regular Time Machine backups? ….

The drive can fortunately be replaced, if it’s done with a high-quality drive or even better an updated blazing fast Solid State Drive the Mac owner can enjoy years of additional life out the machine.
