My 2019 iMac is running slow. How long should I expect to get out of this computer?
___________
2019 should give you at least 3 more years of faithful service. People say “my computer is slow” they mean one of two things, my actual computer is slow, or my internet is slow. I think in your case you mean the actual computer. Slowness of general tasks is split into two categories. Hardware or software. Most of the time is it hardware’s fault. The main question to ask here is…Is the hard drive a solid state, fusion (hybrid) or a SATA? If it’s an SATA (spinning drive) then that’s 100% the problem. Solid States do not generally have slowness issues unless the problem was software. I can’t remember which version you have but if you’d like to find out, you can go to “about this Mac”, select More Info, select storage and it should tell you there.
