Stop Suffering With Slow Tech — Why Your Laptop Feels Broken (and how to fix it)

Most people assume a slow laptop means it’s time to buy a new one. That belief keeps retailers happy and customers poor.

Here’s the brutal truth: Your laptop isn’t slow… it’s neglected.

The biggest culprit? Mechanical hard drives — the digital equivalent of storing your files on a spinning vinyl record. Swap it for an SSD and the difference is night and day. Throw in a clean, fan service, and proper setup, and suddenly that “dead” laptop has years of life left. So before you drop £500–£1,000 on a new machine, ask one question:

“Has this device ever been serviced?” If the answer is no, start there.

Final thought: Most people don’t need new tech — they need someone who actually cares enough to fix what they already own.
