Hey OP, there are a few steps you can take, I'll start with your possible immediate next steps and options, escalating in severity and impact. Phone or tablet can keep u in touch w friends amply well without getting your workhorse locked down all because of a cat video that was too cute to scroll by. Facebook can be a dangerous place for the unprotected, so I recommend not going there on your laptop.

But if you and your Mac are 100% monogamous, you can gain some valuable processor bandwidth here. If you do share stuff via thumb drivesвЂ¦itвЂ™s not worth the risk. If you are running virus protection such as Norton or KasperskyвЂ¦do you really need to? If you obtained all your programs from App Store and donвЂ™t share thumb drivesвЂ¦ditch it. If you donвЂ™t absolutely need a program, I recommend ditching it.

A few programs trying to update in the background can be a problem for an ancient system. In the meantime, delete everything that u donвЂ™t absolutely need on your dinosaur. Maybe look into selling plasma twice a month if money is otherwise unobtainable. Newer is betterвЂ¦check the processor on any prospective replacement unit. In general, the higher the RAM the better. Solid State drives are a solid performance upgrade. I think eBay/PayPal will guarantee your purchase for a spell.

It can be a crapshoot, so maybe Craigslist where u can give it a test driveвЂ¦or from a middleman that will guarantee your product. Given the age of this system, rather than dropping money on fixing some of itвЂ¦I simply recommend waiting until the next drop of new and improved MacBook Pros and seeing what that entices others to sell.
