I have a 13" mid 2012 MBP that has been having issues for the last year or so. I spend more time looking at the spinning wheel than anything else. I have no idea what is slowing it down. I decided it was finally time to upgrade, but when I went to look at specs for new machines I realized my old MBP has some of the fastest components out there and it should still be running fine.
I have a 2.9 GHz Intel Core i7, 8GB memory, and I think 1TB HD (I had it upgraded by a 3rd party when my HD failed). Things that could be slowing the MBP down are the 29K photos, 2K short videos, 17K emails and 4 years of iMessages.
There seems to be no rhyme or reason for when the computer gets stuck. I have to use force quit several times a day.
Should this machine still be running like a work-horse? Or do I have too much on here?
