    Freezing Issues with macOS 10.12.3

    I am currently in contact with Apple concerning this and as of this present time, they are being helpful, but it is clear to me that they are as yet unwilling to admit there is a problem.

    2015 13' rMBP sluggish, Facebook unusable on any browser

    I've had the 13 inch 2.9ghz rMBP from early 2015 for a while, it's become quite slow to the point where Facebook is just unusable on any browser. Cycle count is only around 120, anything I can do to speed this up a bit? Also gets very warm frequently. Thanks.

    My iMac is form late 2013, but it has behaved quite strangely for most of its lifespan. It runs fine most of the time but anytime an app is opening, it takes between 2-5 minutes to do so. During this time, I can operate most open apps without any trouble. However, it has a number of side...
