I have a Mac desktop running Sequoia 15.3.1 and Photoshop 26.4.1. It is over 4 years old, and has 16GB of RAM. Its hard drive has 102.75GB free out of 994.66GB, and it runs a Apple M1 graphics card. The last time I shut down was more than 24 hours ago. I run a cleanup program about once a week. I read your article about what to do with files on desktop and create alias folders. I have never heard of doing this and it is extremely helpful to know this information. I have always kept folders on my desktop to keep my stuff organized. Thank you for posting the article in another mac thread.

I am a professional photographer and have always had Macs. My desktop is running TOO slow also and now I am trying to decide between 2 different configurations of the new Mac Studio M3 Ultra: 28-core CPU, 60-core GPU with 96GB of memory and 2TB SSD storage OR 32-core CPU, 80-core GPU with 96GB of memory and 2TB SSD storage This is the LAST computer I will be purchasing (because I am old!) and hope to "future proof" it as much as possible. Any thoughts based on your expertise are appreciated. Thank you!

Agree!
