Is your laptop getting slower around Aberdeen? You are not alone. Between work commutes, uni deadlines in Aberdeen, and home study, it is common for systems to slow down over time.
At Repatch, we focus on quick diagnosis and practical repairs, often with pickup and return before you have time to worry too much.
Common reasons a laptop runs slow
A slow device can be caused by a few usual suspects.
- Low storage space, especially if your drive is almost full
- Too many startup apps slowing down boot time
- Outdated drivers or system updates not installed
- Malware or unwanted software affecting performance
- A failing HDD or the need to upgrade to an SSD
- Overheating due to dust buildup and blocked vents
If your laptop feels fine sometimes but slow under load, overheating and drive health are often to blame.

How do I know if my laptop is overheating?
If the fan is loud, the base feels hot, or the laptop slows down during gaming or video calls, overheating could be the cause.
Will cleaning fix my slow laptop?
Sometimes. Removing startup clutter, freeing storage space, and running security checks can improve speed.
If the drive is failing or thermals are blocked, we will recommend the right hardware fix.
Can an SSD upgrade help?
Yes. An SSD upgrade is one of the most common improvements for a slow laptop, especially if your current drive is an HDD.
