I began just before the head tech's break and now run a repair shop that's also offering IT services. I'm comfortable with Windows but wasn't sure about Mac tools. Tomorrow I'll meet someone using a slow MacBook, so I won't want to look up solutions immediately in front of clients.
The slow MacBook works just like Windows. Consider using an SSD if possible, and close unnecessary applications.
Thanks for the guidance. It’s unclear which model you’re dealing with, so I’m uncertain if an SSD upgrade is feasible. From what I learned, their storage might already be nearly full, and CleanMyMac appears to help many users. It’s possible they have limited RAM on older systems as well.
If you're not familiar with Macs at all, it makes sense to avoid them—especially if you're trying to earn money on them. Troubleshooting and repairing Macs beyond the basics demands a solid grasp of *nix systems and command-line tools. Never rely on CleanMyMac; it's unreliable and often causes more problems. Just search for it online.
