Q: MacBook Pro (Late 2011) Lagging
I have a couple year old MacBook Pro 13" Late 2011 model with upgraded insides
2.4Ghz Dual-Core Intel i5, 8GB RAM, and a 128GB SSD.
Lately (past month or 2) it has been running pretty slowly. I've used CleanMyMac2, Onyx, etc, which helped for like a day, but then it went back to lagging. I even reinstalled OS X twice overall which speeds it up immediately but the second I start loading my stuff onto it (Only certain apps, music and photos - no save data/prefrences) it goes slow again. I've also reset PRAM and SMC just in case.
I ran an extended Apple Hardware Test and it says my Mac is running perfectly, so I'm a bit confused as to why it's acting like this.
I'm at my whits end, I miss my Mac that could run laps around PCs. Early next year I am considering getting rid of my Macbook (or keeping it - depends if I can sell it or not) and getting an iMac, I need more power than this =/.
MacBook Pro, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.4)
