[QUOTE="RadDave, post: 1630528, member: 234411"] From your specs above, your MBAir is likely one of the models [URL="http://www.everymac.com/systems/apple/macbook-air/specs/macbook-air-core-i5-1.6-11-mid-2011-specs.html"]HERE[/URL] - now I see a 1.6 GHz CPU, so you might want to check for the exact model and let us know. You laptop has just one storage drive which is a 64 GB SSD, a rather small capacity these days. You can go to 'About This Mac' and follow the links for 'System Information' for more details, if not done at this point. You do not have a 'fusion drive' - I have one on my iMac (early 2013) - basically a combination of a 1 TB standard HD + 128 GB SSD (for faster processing of more common tasks). Just for starters, you likely need to upgrade the size of your storage, your RAM, and your OS X, but I don't know your needs, so let us know w/ the additional information above. Dave :) [/QUOTE]
