How can I make my MacBook Air run faster?

Hi. There are lots of ways you can make your MacBook Air or any apple laptop run faster. Some easy ways are to close all applications you are not using. Sometimes even though you aren't using an application, it is still running in the background, and using some of your ram. A great way you can monitor applications in the background is by using the console application. It is in the utilities folder of your applications and will tell you the percentage of your ram each application you are using. A second way to make your MacBook run faster is to clear up some extra space. For instance, delete old applications or files. Selecting an application or file and pressing command+I will tell you how much space that file takes on your computer. Most files already say how much space they take, but it is a handy trick for folders which don't. You can see your total space at the bottom of your finder window. A third, more expensive way to make your computer faster is to upgrade your ram. I don't know how much a MacBook Air starts with, I would guess 2gb of ram, but I think like any other apple computer you can take it in to have it bumped up to 4gb or 8gb (although 8 seems a bit large for a MacBook Air. Usually a ram upgrade costs between $100 to $200 but I am not a professional so don't trust me. Hope this helps!

run a speed test on your net connection.

Slow web pages has no bearing on your Air actually running slow itself.
