If your laptop slows down every December, you are not imagining it. Christmas season is one of the busiest times for computer repair in Calgary because people push their laptops harder without realizing it. Holiday photos, shopping tabs, work projects, travel, and gaming all pile up at the same time.
Here is why your computer slows down and how STEM Support gets it running like new.
1. Your Laptop Gets Overloaded
Streaming holiday movies, online shopping tabs, and work all happening at once make your laptop work overtime. If your RAM is low or your storage is almost full, everything slows down.
2. Winter Increases Dust Buildup
When your home stays closed up to keep out the cold, dust builds up faster inside your laptop. Dust causes overheating which forces your computer to slow down.
3. Your Hard Drive Might Be Aging
If your laptop is more than a few years old, the hard drive might be wearing out. Old drives freeze, crash, and become painfully slow. A simple SSD upgrade from STEM Support can make your laptop feel brand new.
4. Hidden Software Issues
Holiday season is also when people download the most apps, online tools, and files. Some of them are buggy or full of junk files that slow everything down.
