So my stepdaughter was complaining about her mackbook pro being slow. She said a local hardware store said her hard drive was bad (Crucial M4 256GB SSD). So I sent out a Samsung EVO 850 250GB SSD to her for them to swap out. They swapped it out, restored the OS. And the MacBook Pro is still taking minutes to perform the slightest of tasks. To close a window out, it can take up to 1-2 minutes. To launch a window or even the "about" window, it can take 1-2 minutes. Rebooting can take 10 minutes or more. Even just clicking on the menu causes the rainbow ball/disk to appear and spin for a bitl. After 10 or so minutes of being booted to the OS, the menu works a little faster, but still struggles at launching things. I am not an Apple person so I've troubleshot what I could at the moment. Any ideas?
I've performed a system test "D" during boot and then tested the hardware. Everything tested good.
I've swapped out the memory as well from 2x2GB to 2x4GB.
I've updated the OS
Specs:
OSX: 10.8.5
CPU: 2.5Ghz Core i5
Memory: 8GB 1600Mhz DDR3
SSD: 250GB Samsung EVO 850 250GB
