    How old is the machine? 
    What version of MacOS is it running?

    Apple produced laptops with a 1.6 i5 processor from 2015 to 2019 but in that time went from the 5th generation to 8th generation i5 processor.  They are fairly different beasts at each end of the spectrum. 

    Can you provide a snapshot of Activity Monitor for both RAM and CPU to see what's hogging resources
