Is your **laptop** running slow in **Dundee**? You are not alone. After months of updates, downloads, and browser tabs, even a solid **Lenovo**, **HP**, **Dell**, or **Apple MacBook** can start to feel sluggish.

At **Repatch**, we focus on fast, professional repair. With a courier pickup, we can get your device to technicians quickly and back to you soon, often within **2 hours**.


## Common reasons a laptop runs slow

A slow laptop usually comes down to a few repeat issues. In many cases, the fix is simple once we diagnose the real cause.


**Overfilled storage**

If your drive is nearly full, Windows and macOS struggle to manage updates and temporary files. The result is slow boot times and laggy performance.


**Outdated drivers**

Missing or outdated drivers can cause keyboard delays, Wi-Fi dropouts, and stuttering performance, especially after system updates.


**Too many startup programs**

Apps set to open on boot can drain CPU and memory. This often shows up as a slow login screen and slow app switching.


**Malware or unwanted software**

Adware and unwanted programs can run in the background. This can reduce speed and increase battery drain.


**Thermal issues**

Dust build up can make the fan work harder than it should. When the CPU overheats, performance drops automatically to protect the hardware.


## We check, diagnose, and repair

When you book with **Repatch**, we handle everything from courier collection to technician repair. That means you do not have to worry about booking drop offs or waiting around.

Our technicians will look for the real cause of the slowdown. Repairs may include cleaning and thermal checks, software tune-ups, drive upgrades, or replacing a failing **SSD** or **HDD** if needed.
