slow computer

Frustratingly sluggish machine

A slow computer is one that takes noticeably long to perform tasks—loading programs, opening files, or responding to commands.

The slowness may stem from age, insufficient memory, or accumulated digital clutter.

My slow computer takes five minutes just to boot up.

The phrase often carries exasperation, implying the machine has become an obstacle rather than a tool.
