A slow laptop is one of the most common tech support calls we receive at Microsmith in Newport. The good news is that most cases are fixable — and often same-day.
Common Reasons Your Laptop Is Slow
- Too many startup programmes — software that loads on boot drags everything down
- Full or near-full hard drive — Windows and macOS need breathing room to operate
- Old hard drive (HDD) — upgrading to an SSD is the single biggest performance boost you can make
- Not enough RAM — especially noticeable when switching between apps or using a browser with many tabs
- Malware or background processes — rogue software consuming CPU and memory
- Overheating — a laptop that throttles itself due to heat will feel painfully slow
What We Do
When you bring your laptop to Microsmith, we run a full diagnostic to pinpoint the cause. Common fixes include SSD upgrades, RAM upgrades, thermal paste replacement, malware removal, and OS optimisation. We offer a free quote before any work begins so there are no surprises.
