There's nothing like a brand new Mac computer.

There's also nothing like saving money when you can.

Macs are great computers, but they're also expensive, so you want to make sure you get your money's worth before buying a new one.

Here are a few suggestions to make sure you get more life out of your computer and keep it running in tip-top shape.

Remove apps you don't use anymore.

Browse your Applications folder and see if there are any programs in there you don't use anymore. If so, use an uninstaller to get rid of them and free up hard disk space.

To uninstall apps, just click and drag the app icons to the trash can on macOS.

Free up hard drive space if you have an older Mac.

The more stuff you have on a traditional hard drive (versus an SSD), the longer it'll take your old Mac to sort through it to find what you want.

If your drive is filled with stuff, either delete it or move it to a cloud service like Google Drive.

Run Monolingual to delete the extra language files you don't use.

Your Mac and many of the programs you install come with alternative languages that you'll never use. You can delete them to free up hundreds of megabytes of storage space with a free app called Monolingual.
