Why are Apple computers so slow?

Mac is Running Slow due to Lack of Hard Drive Space. Running out of space may not just ruin your system performance—it can also cause the applications you’re working with to crash. That happens because macOS is constantly swapping memory to disk, especially for setups with low initial RAM.

Why is MacOS slower than Windows?

macrumors regular I don’t think Apple has discouraged anyone from running MacOs on their own hardware. It can work pretty well although I always found it to be a PITA maintaining a working system.

Are PCS slower than Macs?

Tech presenter Linus Sebastian of Linus Tech Tips explains why the thermals of Apple’s Mac products generally make them perform slower than rival PC equivalents on the market. “We found that even with better cooling, temperatures were the same,” Linus says.

What is the difference between Intel Core i5 and i7?

Intel Core i7 is a high-end processor and is more appropriate than the i5 processors for certain intensive tasks, such as data crunching, graphics and video editing, and PC gaming. i7 processors feature a larger cache, hyper-threading, and a higher clock speed. Even so, computer processors are rarely the bottleneck in performance these days.

Should I get an i5 or i7 processor for my MacBook?

If you choose i7, you will reduce the battery life for about an hour, maybe more. MacBooks are perfect mobile devices, and battery life is extremely important. If you do not necessarily need a faster processor but need longer battery life, go for i5. Also, the price can play a huge role. The i7 will cost you $150 more than i5.

Does i5 or i7 have a turbo boost?

Both Core i7 and i5 processors support Turbo Boost. Intel Hyper-Threading increases CPU performance for multi-threaded tasks and is helpful for multitasking when several applications are running simultaneously. As discussed above, all Core i7 processors and mobile i5 processors support hyper-threading.

Is it worth it to upgrade to an i7 processor?

Question: Does anyone see a reason to upgrade to the 2.5 GhZ i7 processor (instead of the stock 2.3 Ghz i5)? On geekbench, the stock processor (dual) scores 8820, and the upgraded i7 processor gets only 8826. So if that is the difference, it seems totally negligible and not worth it.
