I bought a MacBook Air about 4 years ago. I am not exaggerating when I say I use it maybe 3 times a month. The only time I use it is to create contracts on Google docs for my business and email them to customers. I thought because I have an iPhone I’d have no problem using a Mac. Boy was I wrong. Long story short- every time I open it something is different. Some weird app like drop box pops up and asks for updates.. I dunno. Garage band just recently and mysteriously added itself and keeps popping up asking me to do stuff, I try to open yahoo mail and it is non responsive, on and on, and just recently I noticed the clock is off time.
Again, I barely use this thing.Now it’s slow as molasses on a door knob in December. No, I never open spam mail or visit any shady websites or anything that might cause a slowdown. No streaming no downloading nothing. Why in the world does this thing never work for me? Why?! Why, if the only thing I do is use Google docs and email does this computer seem to constantly have issues?
Yes I have auto updates on.
No I rarely shut it off or put it to sleep.
No I don’t believe I have apps running in the background. I never open any apps.
What is the story with these things?
Im far from a tech savvy person but far from an oatmeal brain. It blows my mind that I have never had a day I opened this thing and it wasn’t a nightmare to operate.
is this what people who use computers 8 hrs a day have to endure? Maybe they just get used to it and it’s the new norm?
Do the innards of these things naturally deteriorate?! Im convinced if a person were to purchase a brand new Mac, plug it in, set up basic features like email and such, then monitor it, without ever using it, they could catch the computer slowly but intentionally sneaking away from its duties.
Help. WHHHHYYYYY?
