Q: 2012 MacBook Air Running Hot and Slow
After about 20 minutes use my 2012 MacBook Air gets very hot and the cooling fan starts to run at full speed. At the same time it slows down significantly. Is this a sign the battery needs replacing (anyone know the approximate cost to do this?)? However, I have no problem re-charging the battery and it seems to run for a reasonable time between charges.
MacBook Air, OS X El Capitan (10.11.3)

Your MBP has connection problems with the HDD. Make an appointment at an Apple store genius bar and have them evaluate the problem. This is a hardware problem with no software solution.
Ciao.
