As the title says, performance on my 2013 Retina MacBook Pro is less than optimal.
Specs:
Late 2013 Retina MacBook Pro
Intel Core i5 2.4GHz, 4GB RAM, 128SSD
Resolution set to "best for display" but doesn't appear to help much
I've recently purchased this because the processor was a huge step up to what my MacBook Air (2013 also) had and assumed performance would skyrocket as a result. Well nope. It was so snappy on Mavericks (pre-installed) but seems to drag its feet with most things I want to do, and I haven't installed much other than Spotify and Flash.
What would y'all suggest for something like this? I've never troubleshooted OS X before and I've only been taught Windows at Uni. I don't know if OS X has the power settings like windows does where CPU is clocked down when battery is low (But it definitely bloody feels like it. Youtube is unusable when I have <5% battery).
Would a complete reinstall help at all?
Appreciate any help in advance!
