Find a local Tasker to speed up your computer in Inner West Sydney

I have a large screen Mac about 6 years old. Once my time-machine was full, my computer seems to have slowed down (it hasn't backed up for six months), sometimes taking twenty minutes to work from being turned on. The computer has only used half of its memory space. Sometimes the whirling beachball twirls for a few seconds in the middle of doing a task.

Hi There, I need a new laptop however I lost my job in covid so I need to make do with my current laptop. It's hobbies include 'not responding' and sometimes being stubborn and holding me hostage. I type faster than the computer can input the words so sometimes I like to type a sentence and then sit back and pretend a ghost is typing on my laptop. It's old, held together by duct tape but I need it to just let me finish my online study and then when I have a job again I will buy a new one. I really don't want to hear 'you need a new laptop as I know' If there are any kind IT people that know how to give an old laptop a kick up the ass and won't charge an arm and a leg I would really appreciate your help. Thanks Alice
