Hi, new to this forum.
Just purchased new macbook yesterday and it is incredibly slow. I have had a macbook in past years back and it WAS AMAZING!!!! super fast and could run countless programs. It was the most basic macbook in 2007.
This is what I currently have: Macbook. Processor: 2.5 GHz Intel Core i5. Memory: 4 GB 1600 MHz DDR3. OSX Version 10.8.
Basically, i haven't downloaded anything yet. Go to download flash and it hs taken over an hour.. that's insane! Nothing wrong with wireless, tried at 3 different wireless. Used my macbook next to an ancient PC. PC runs faster.
Also, for MAIL app. It's insanely slow. Creating new folders, receiving mail (changed settings to check for new mail every minute), loading mail once it's been received, sending mail.
Can anyone help? Is this because the type of macbook I bought? If so, should I go back and exchange for a better model? I am just completely surprised as this macbook has more memory and better processor than my old macbook.
Thank you for your help
