[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1571304, member: 56379"] Hard to say why the computer works ok plugged in...but slow when on battery power. Liquid spills can be so unpredictable (hard to say what was actually affected/damaged). Probably need a bit more spec info on your current 2011 MBP. But if your question is really...should you upgrade a 2013 MBA from the i5 cpu to the i7 cpu for an extra $150...the benchmark scores I saw show that it's a pretty decent speed increase for $150.:) As far as the difference between your 2011 MBP and a new MBA. Does it really matter??;) Sounds like you need a new computer either way...especially if you want decent portable performance (unplugged).:) - Nick [/QUOTE]
