Why is my 21.5 iMac so slow? it's not that old!

If you have the smaller screen iMac you may wonder why it's running so slow, even a year old iMac might be driving you to desperation! The reason it is slow is the internal hard drive is a slow 5400rpm drive and overtime gets even slower.

But there is a solution, upgrade to solid state memory. By installing a SSD will get your Mac back up to speed. Get rid of the dreaded beachballs of death and slow boot times. It might be possible to increase the RAM at the same time to give you even more oompf.

My iMac is a 27 inch! is there anything you can do?

While the 21.5 inch iMac is notorious for slowing down, the 27 inch will also slow down usually after 3 years. The good news is it is also upgradeable using the same SSD technology. A plus for the 27 is the RAM is easier to upgrade. You probably have two spare slots all ready to go. If you have a Fusion Drive, I have an explainer here!
