iMac 2019 lag

Hello everyone,


I have recently purchased a new iMac 2019, 16GB Ram, 1TB Hard Drive.


I purchased the iMac as an upgrade from my Macbook Pro which had 4gb ram. I only really use Logic Pro X and Rekordbox.


The iMac is terribly slow and often lags or freezes. More or less every application takes a while to load up and when on it is common for the little curser to be spiraling.


It is frustrating as the MacBook actually works better than the new iMac


Has anyone else been experiencing these issues?


Thanks!

Mike

You did not comparing the spec’s.

The MacBook Pro has a really fast SSD,

The 1T iMac has a really slow 5400rpm HDD.

If it is to late to return that iMac for one with an SSD.

Then you can run that iMac from a faster external USB 3.0 SSD.
