[QUOTE="Skirmoza, post: 1791481, member: 399098"] Hello, everyone! I really hope you can help me out, or at least give me some guidance. So, the computer that I have is 2015’s Macbook Pro ‘15 with pretty much spec out specs, except there is no dedicated amd’s graphics card. Its a refurbished model, bought from Japan’s Apple store. The machine is currently running MacOS High Sierra latest build. In general, laptop is working just fine, but what bothers me is UI. Its pretty sluggish. I mean when you open, for an example, launchpad and you swipe to the sides, or opening sub-folders, like “other”, you get edgy, choppy animations... Somehow, it gets sort of fixed when plugging the laptop to an external monitor (but in mirrored mode, if not - the problem persists!). I don’t understand... I’ve downloaded app that helps changing resolutions, so when I change to something, not retina-ish, like 2500x1600 or something like that - it pretty much fixes, but because its not retina resolution, the text looks not so sharp. Why this is happening? My sister has same macbook, with slower cpu - she said UI runs just fine. Important to mention, she is running Sierra, not High Sierra like me. Is this something to do with OS X? Appreciated. [/QUOTE]
