Laptop running slow? Here’s why it might need a health check-up

It’s a Monday morning, you press the power button on your laptop, but it takes its sweet time to boot up. Once logged in, even your browser and Teams take ages to open. In fact, everything on your laptop appears to be acting up.

It might not be the Monday blues,  just your laptop showing its age. But worry not, it doesn’t mean you have to immediately switch to a new machine. Instead, all it might need is a basic health check-up. One that could make it run like the good old days!

That’s exactly what ZipCare’s Laptop Health Check-Up is offering. So, if you own an old laptop that’s running too slow or if your laptop is acting up, read on.

Why do laptops get slow over time?

While there are numerous reasons why your laptop may feel sluggish, a primary reason could be the storage space. If your laptop’s storage is nearing capacity, you will need to make some space for the system to breathe.

Another reason for a slow laptop could be malware. Despite robust security features on Windows and macOS, malware may slip into your system. Either via apps or via browser downloads.

Another potential reason that may have slowed down your laptop could be faulty apps. Some apps on your system could be running on older versions or may have some bugs. All these could hamper your laptop’s performance. But you needn’t fret, as a quick health check-up could make it run like new.
