[QUOTE="Raz0rEdge, post: 1522908, member: 110816"] You are not comparing apples to oranges since your Macbook has a HD that's likely running at 5400RPM while the MBA is using a SSD which is going to be way faster on reads. Also, if your MBA is the latest generation, it's based on the Haswell processor which is quite speedy and benchmarks really well compared to other processors with faster speeds.. Depending on what maintenance you've been doing (or not doing) on your Macbook is also going to determine how well it behaves. Doing disk/permission repairs and using OnyX to clean things up should help greatly. A clean-install of Snow Leopard or even Mountain Lion should get you back to square one as far as performance goes.. [/QUOTE]
