Runs too slowly

I bought this with the mindset that MacBooks were superior over PC laptops. The first thing I noticed was that it ran too slowly. It would take 30-60 seconds to load an application and felt laggy overall. Twice it crashed on me. As a PF debater, i found it cumbersome and too slow to find files quickly in order to show files for proof to my opponents.
I'm currently trying to get a replacement to see if this was an isolated event. But for now, my HP dv5t of 6 years seems to run just as fast if not faster and smoother.
I was told that the reason for it being slow was because it had the old HDD storage system (disk) instead of the newer SSD (chip) like te newer MacBooks. But those are way too expensive for very little data (128-256GB).

This is a good basic Mac for those that just want a fantastic computer, with no surprises. I have been using PC's for the last twenty years and this is my first Mac, so far It has been a great experience. The computer has a great feel with the keyboards and very quick to respond to what I need.

I have a Mac that I just gave my granddaughter since I wanted to buy the Macbook Pro. I have been a Mac user for the last 3 years and will continue since the products are easy to use. The Macbook Pro has a clear picture, is easy to use and I just love it.

The apple product works great! Glad best buy had a small sale and had it in a stock. I did my research on it and knew most of what I wanted was there. So just had to pick it up.

I bought an open box - excellent mac book pro from best buy, online and picked it up from the store near by the same day. I feel that the laptop was slightly slower than a brand new one but that was expected as it was an open box purchase. I think that for about 1000 dollars including tax, this was a great purchase.

Build quality is nice. OS runs well which is expected when the software developer is also the hardware engineer. Only regret is not getting it with a solid state hard drive.
