tips on how to enhance the performance of your mac | AppleFix Hamilton New Zealand


Mac is an expensive investment, and you would need to take better care of it to ensure that it functions properly for the most extended period. The hardware, software installed, how you use Mac and how you decide to maintain it, determines how long will your Mac work.

Never assume that every Mac software issue can be solved by just restarting the device. If you observe that your Mac is all of a sudden behaving strangely, bring it to Apple fix. Our team of trained and certified professional will fix any, and every Apple product be it iPod Classic, MacBook Pro. We provide quality and affordable apple repair service in Hamilton.

Although we all know the basics of ways to extend our Mac’s functional life is by keeping it updated, free of virus and in excellent condition, numerous factors affect the performance of your Mac:

HARD DISK:

All the data on your Mac, from documents to program files to photos is stored on the hard disk. The speed and space in a hard drive are the determinants of Mac’s performance. The bigger the area on the hard disk will result in faster execution of the system’s processes and vice-versa.

The speed of the hard disk reading and writing of the material and content happens in the hard disk. Higher the speed of the hard drive, the faster would be Mac’s performance.

CPU:

The speed of the CPU affects how the Mac processes the functions. It is the frequency of which the processor executes instructions.

APPLICATIONS:

When multiple applications are running on your Mac, it will severely impact the memory of the Mac since now it has to support more than one app at a time. Ore the application is running, slower would be the performance of the Mac.

FILE MANAGEMENT:

Remove files that are broken or take too long to read as the Mac has to defragment them which affects the speed of the Mac.

BUS:

Data is transferred from the processor to the other components by a data path, i.e., the bus Mac. Bus width and speed affect the performance of the Mac.

How can you enhance your Mac’s performance?

Buy a Mac with good  RPMs, cache size, seek speed, and transfer rate as these aspects guarantee faster drive rate.
Instead of minimizing the apps that you won’t be using for a long time, completely shut them down.
Ensure that your Mac’s battery is in the best shape by
Turning off any unused ports or devices like WIFi, Bluetooth that consume copious amount of power.
Turning off the keyboard backlighting, when not in use and reduce the screen brightness. You can also mute your Mac if you are not watching a video or listening to a song so that you can save some power.
If you observe any software glitch or hardware trouble with your Mac, immediately bring it to our Apple fix service center.
