Hi $skywalker,
What is your definition of "good for gaming?" I think that's the biggest problem with any machine that features an integrated chipset. If you're looking to get 60 FPS in an 8-on-8 game of Modern Warfare 2 at ultra graphics settings, that isn't going to happen. What sort of games do you play? What are you requirements/expectations. If the purposes for this machine exceed 50% "for gaming" you really need to consider the 15" MBP with a dedicated GPU, the differences are quite significant.

Macbook Pro 2011 loud fans and slow computer functioning?
Today my Macbook has suddenly begun to act slow and the fans are running quite loud. I read online that I should try checking the activity moniter, and I did this, and a program is currently taking a large portion of my CPU. However, I am unable to quit it and I'm sure it is the problem. In one of the description fields it is lableled "root" and says "kernel_task". Someone please help me out!
Actually I'm still running snow leopard. But this problem is confusing me so badly. I have tried several times to totally restart the computer by holding down the power button for a few seconds. The MacBook restarts fine but upon startup the fans start running loud again and the Performance of the computer is clearly slower than normal. For example, when I maneuver with the trackpad down to the dock the icons are very slow to respond. Also, normally upon startup my keyboard illuminates upon viewing the log in screen, however for some reason this is not happening either.
I hope someone on here has the solution to this it would be greatly appreciated. -
Macbook Air suffering loud fan, extremely slow
Hi,
I'm using a MBA Mid 2013 (warranty ended by June 31), and below is my story (verry sorry if it's long and waste your time).
By the third week of June, my MBA got a problem with the sound. Since it's still in warranty duration, so i took it to an Apple authorized service center in my place. They kept it for a week, and after that, my MBA's sound problem gone. But:
Actually, I made some quick tests in that center, and everything seems normal. So that, i closed my MBA and left the center.
When i got home, i opened my MBA to retouch some photos, but the MBA is extremely slow (opening a photo in Preview took around 1 min), and the fan went crazily loud.
I opened the Activity Monitor. Surprisingly, there's a process named kernel_task was taking ~300% of the CPU, thousands of the CPU time.
I did some research in the community, and found a solution: "Reset SMC". I tried that solution and magically, the problem has gone. So that, i thought it was just a software problem, instead of a hardware one.
The warranty expired...
The first half of July:
Everything seems OK and my MBA is stable.
The previous week:
The kernel_task error seems back. At first, i repeated the SMC reset solution and it still worked. But few times later, that solution turned useless.
Although my Mac was still usable, but during the kernel_task error, it's very slow that i could not do anything. Sometime, the kernel_task automatically turned normal (and my Mac is fast again).
At that time, i tried a list of other solutions and found something:
- Reset PRAM: The key combination was very hard to be succeed. Mostly, my MAC normally boot to the OS.
- Safe mode: Same.
- Recovery: Same.
- Apple Hardware Test: Same. But, in a success one, the result said that there is a problem with my thunderbolt (When i check in the System Information, the thunderbolt part said that No Hardware Found...??).
So, I guess that there's few problem with the OS.
So that, in the previous weekend, i tried to re-install the OS (Maverick). My Mac seems normal again.
But today, after a sleep - wake cycle (close, and open the Mac screen), the kernel_task disaster was back.
In this evening, i tried to re-install the OS once again, with a different installation. But... the problem seems more serious.
When i booted by a usb to install OS, the fan still loud and my mac still slow, which lead to the OS install could not be completed (stuck at 13%). And now, i almost cannot even choose the Startup Disk. Although i pushed and pressed the option key, my Mac will automatically boot to the Utilities for restoring the OS (because i formated that Mac partition).
Now, i'm very disappointed and confused. My mac is slow and the fan is loud anytime, i cannot install the OS. A software (perhaps?) error now turns to a hardware (perhaps?) error?
Could someone please tell me what is that error, and is there anyway to fix it?
Thank you in advance!Well, when you use a secondary display you are making the graphics processor work harder. That would explain the fan noises. Also, be aware of where you place the comptuer. Try not to block the back so it can vent and not place it near other warm devices.

MacBook Air 2011 Fan increased after installed mountain lion
Hi all,
I have a Macbook Air 2011, Intel core i7. After when I installed ML I noticed that battery go down very fast (about 2:40h) and the Fan speed RPM is about 6500 all time, but I haven't any strong operation pending or App. I have the same app open since lion (Internet, chat, jdownloader) in background (skydrive,evernote,weatherhd) the same app and background task I have with Lion.
In monitor activity all task is from 1% to 20-30% of usage.
Any Tips?I only have the fan kick in when the graphics is getting hit hard (playing games, driving external displays, etc) with crappy intel on board graphics.
Is your MacBook Air in a protective case, skin or having anything block the vent hinge?
Definitely sounds like the OS thinks it needs to keep running the fan.
You might try this smart temperature desktop widget and monitor your temperature to see if there is any sane reason for the fans to be on (they are loud!).

How do I connect my MacBook Air 2011 to a projector?
How do I connect my MacBook Air 2011 to a projector?
It depends on the input connection for the projector, but since many are rduced resolution, VGA seems to be the prevalent common connection.
It's just a matter of buying the adapter that adapts VGA to the Mini DisplayPort/Thunderbolt port on your Air. If it is a DVI or HDMI connection input on your projector, the online Apple Store carries that as well.
This adapter and sufficient length VGA cable is all you need for VGA.
Here's the DVI adapter.
For some reason, I am unable to bring up the Moshi HDMI adapter on Apple's site. -
I have a MacBook Air 2011, running Lion 10.7.2, and Safari won't load any pages. Firefox loads everything just fine. What's going on?
d Pacifist to reinstall both the Safari
application and the WebKit framework
was that before the 10.4.6 combo was applied?
Nope, I tried the Pacifist route after applying the combo update.
It does sound as if webkit is busted at the moment.
What version of osx is on your install disks?
Not sure, I'll have to check them.
I'd like to avoid a archive & install, but I'm beginning to think it's my only remaining option. -

Whatever you read was incorrect. You can upgrade directly to Mavericks. It is in the App Store and is free.
Snow Leopard predates the operating system you already have. That's the reason it will not install on your MacBook Air. You spent $20 needlessly for it, but it's yours to resell if you wish. -
i have two drives, 80GB and a 2nd Windows drive 40GB. I'd like to get rid of the 40GB and go back to original 120GB, MacBook Air 2011, OS X 10.7.5 is this doable?
If you used Boot Camp to install Windows you may use Boot Camp to remove it and return your drive to as it was.

Connecting Macbook Air 2011 to Epson projector for Keynote
Hi,
I'm trying to connect my Macbook Air 2011 to a brand new Epson (Powerlite 1760W) projector for Keynote presentations.
I bought the recommended Monoprice mini cable from the Apple store but I can only plug it into my MBA (small squarish socket), the other end dosen't connect to the projector. It seems the projector wants a VGA cable into it.
I'm lost. Do I still need the UBS cable between the two? Do I need a USB / VGA cable instead?
Thanks in advance.Alison,
In looking at the technical specifications (on Epson's site) for this device it would appear that you can make HDMI work - http://www.epson.com/cgi-bin/Store/jsp/Product.do?sku=V11H361120&BV_UseBVCookie= yes
That being said, the HDMI end on the adapter and on the projector are most likely female. So you'll need an HDMI cable (the length will vary on how far the machine is away from the projector) but I suspect a 3 or 6 footer would work just fine. The cable is a male-to-male. -
Is the Macbook Air 2011 able to run the Apple Cinema Display 30" ?
Hello Everyone.
So, I am about to buy a Macbook Air 2011 11".
I want this product because of the ssd driver and the versality of such a light object.
The things is that i work at school with a laptop, and when i come back home, i use my Apple Cinema Display on my Macbook Pro with the Dual Link dvi Adaptator (which cost me 98€ ouch !! ).
So i read that there were kind of retro-compatibility between Thunderbolt and Mini-Display Port on the new Mba.
Is the 2011 mba able to run my external display ?
Thank you.
Nicolas.Yes.

Thank you in name of Mario.
Peter LOXGuy would this be of any help:
To start up your computer in Apple Hardware Test:
Press the power button to turn on your computer.
Press and hold the D key before the gray startup screen appears. If Apple Hardware Test does not start up, see the Additional Information section at the end of this article.
Note: Some Macintosh computers that shipped with OS X Lion support the use of Apple Hardware Test over the Internet. These computers will start up to an Internet-based version of AHT if the hard drive does not contain AHT. An Internet-enabled connection via Ethernet or Wi-Fi is required to use this feature.
It takes a minute or so for Apple Hardware Test to start up and inspect your hardware configuration. While this is taking place, an icon appears on the screen:
When the process is complete, select your language and click the right arrow. If you aren't using a mouse, you can use the up and down arrows to select a language and then press the Return key.
The Apple Hardware Test console appears. You can choose which sort of test or tests to perform:
To perform all of the basic tests, click the Test button or press the "T" key or the Return key.
To perform a more thorough diagnostic test, select the "Perform extended testing" checkbox under the Test button before you click the Test button.
Your test results will appear in the window in the bottom-right of the console.
To exit AHT, click Restart or Shut Down at the bottom of the window. -
I just installed MacOS X Yosemite on my MacBook Air 2011. After installing Yosemite I installed the Photoshop Elements 12.1 upgrade, but now when I open the program and try to use the tools, the program freezes. How do I fix this problem?
If you use a trackpad and don't want to switch to a mouse, you can uninstall and reinstall all day long and will still have problems, but if you really want to try it, you can download PSE 12 here:

MacBook Air (2011) needs 20 plus seconds to restart (about 12 seconds when new). Anything wrong?
Could it be that you added one or the other app and driver since you bought it which get loaded during start-up? Check under Login Items in your user account, and think what other "utilities" you're running - eventually silently in the background.
20 seconds isn't too bad. Once it's minutes, come back here. -

Hope someone can help!
ThanksYou replaced the the SSD in a MBA that cannot be user serviced, so that's quite an accomplishment. Your model does not require a firmware update to use Internet Recovery - Computers that can be upgraded to use OS X Internet Recovery. Here's the process you follow:
Install Mavericks, Lion/Mountain Lion Using Internet Recovery
Be sure you backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive because the following procedure will remove everything from the hard drive.
Boot to the Internet Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND-OPTION- R keys until a globe appears on the screen. Wait patiently - 15-20 minutes - until the Recovery main menu appears.
Partition and Format the hard drive:
Select Disk Utility from the main menu and click on the Continue button.
After DU loads select your newly installed hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed. Quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion. Mavericks: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks and click on the Install button. Be sure to select the correct drive to use if you have more than one.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.
This should restore the version of OS X originally pre-installed on the computer. -

please help meOS X Recovery requries a broadband connection as noted > OS X Recovery
There's no need to hold down the Option key to restore OS X.
Hold down the Command + R keys.
If your download speeds are less than 10Mbps, you may not be able to restore your Mac using OS X Recovery.
If you can, take your Mac to an Apple Store > Apple - Find Locations
In most cases, they will restore OS X for free for you.
