Slow, full Macs
Storage at capacity and memory pressure are behind most "my Mac got slow" complaints. Both are diagnosable in minutes.
Slow Macs, full drives, macOS that needs rebuilding, and data off drives that stopped cooperating β with a straight answer about what is worth doing.
Not every Mac problem is a hardware problem. A great many machines that feel finished are simply out of storage, short on memory, or running a macOS install that has accumulated years of clutter. Those are the jobs we take on, and they are frequently the difference between replacing a Mac and keeping it another three years.
What we can upgrade depends entirely on the model. Older Macs β particularly pre-2016 MacBook Pros, and iMacs and Mac minis of the right generation β often take a memory or SSD upgrade that transforms them. On most Macs from 2016 onward, memory and storage are soldered to the board and no upgrade is possible at any price. We will tell you which yours is before you spend anything, and we will not sell you an upgrade your machine cannot take.
Being straight about the limits: we do not do Mac screen replacement or logic-board repair. Both are specialist work, and a shop that does them daily will do a better job than we would. If that is what your Mac needs, we will say so at the free diagnosis and point you somewhere rather than take the job and hope.

On models that allow it. We confirm what your exact machine takes before ordering a thing.
For installs that have degraded, or upgrades that went wrong, with your files carried across.
Files off Mac drives that will no longer mount, and recovery from failed external and Time Machine disks.
Everything moved across from the old machine, including the awkward parts like mail and photo libraries.
No screen replacement and no board-level repair. We tell you at the diagnosis and refer you on.
We quote after the free diagnosis, never before β a fixed figure you approve before any work starts. For this job, the things that move the number are:
No. Mac display assemblies are specialist work and we would rather refer you to a shop that does them every day than do one adequately. We will tell you that at the free diagnosis, not after taking your money.
It depends on the year. Many pre-2016 models take memory and SSD upgrades that make an enormous difference. Most machines from 2016 onward have both soldered to the board, so no upgrade is possible. We will check your exact model first.
Very often, yes. Storage that is almost full and a macOS install that needs rebuilding account for a great deal of perceived slowness, and neither costs much to put right.
Usually, provided the storage is not soldered and has not physically failed. Bring it in and we will tell you honestly what the odds are before you commit.
Yes, and they are often better upgrade candidates than laptops β several generations take memory and drive upgrades easily.
Photos, documents and business records off drives that have stopped cooperating. If the data matters, what you do in the first hour matters just as much.
