CleanMyMac by MacPaw had 5 million users. We can point out several other areas of improvement in the performance of an average Mac.Īn important question here is do you want your Mac to run as fast and smooth as it did on day one? Who does not! Several apps, with their pros and cons, boast to help you achieve exactly that, but users are the best judge and very few apps stand the test of time. On a new machine, the difference is not very noticeable, but over time you start to feel the lag. Similarly, if you open three or more programs simultaneously, your Mac will start lagging very soon. If you’re a heavy user of Mac, and you start using a new Mac, your hard disk space will start filling up in no time. The margin for improvement, how thin it may be, that exists. Does an average Mac user even need an anti-malware software? Does a Mac require daily maintenance? Especially when one of the key selling points of a Mac, in contrast to a Windows PC, as boasted by several Mac enthusiasts, is its security – and, hence, the speed? This question is a fruit for thought about the value of a Mac, as we move forward.
