Why is my MacBook Pro running slower than it used to?
I have a 2011 Macbook Pro and it's performance has been fluctuating in the past few months.
One reason could be that the battery has worn out due to overcharging and when disconnected from a power source, the laptop switches off immediately (has happened quite a few times) - the next time i switch it on, the date and time are reset to 01/01/2001 5:00 AM.
I would like to know if dust collecting in a laptop can cause it to slow down.
Это хороший вопрос?

Okay, so I've run the first aid thing on my disk utility, and it says 2 things:
1. The volume Recovery HD appears to be ok
2. The partition map appears to be ok
Does this mean that my MBD and essential files are not fragmented as you said? If they are not, then why the slowdown?

No, all that means is you don't have a messed-up MBD and cross linked files from not powering down correctly. You'll need to get a 3rd party app to defragment your HD. I like Drive Genus but there are others which are just as good.
