MacBook mid 2014 slow startup

After the recent Yosomite update, 10.10.3 my MacBook takes about 2 minuets to start up from the initial startup sound to the login page, which then takes about 30 seconds to log in my account.

I have only had my MacBook a few months and it didn't used to do this, it used to be very quick.

I'm not sure if it isn't related to programs i have installed (x11, Parrallels with windows and linux vm's)

I was at one point down to 10gb free on my 250gb ssd i'm now up to 60gb.

it was also about the time of Microsoft office 2011 update : 14.4.9

does anybody have any ideas as to why my MacBook has started to go slow?

Your MBP is under warranty. Make an appointment at an Apple store genius bar and have the technicians fix the MBP. Make certain that your data is backed up.

Ciao.

Try freeing up some space on your machine. I recently purchased a new MBP and after searching for a while I came across an app with thousands of reviews called 'Disk Doctor' - it's only around £2 and it removes junk files from your Mac (shows you before you delete). It's amazing how much junk can clog up your system!

If not, take OGELTHORPE's advice and head to the Apple Store, that warranty will come in handy!
