Hi. Just received the 1.1 rMB. My intention was to replace this with an Macbook Air 2013 1.3 (base model). From Geekbench it seems that the rMB is around 10% slower.
I only use my mac for browsing the web, youtube, flash clips, + to watch a few movies. I must say I am pretty disappointed with the performance. I use the default resolution, and encryption is turned off. I do have installed Bettersnaptool if that matters (looked up CPU usage and it says 0.1% for bettersnaptool, so I don't think that that has anything to do with the performance)
When I scroll up and down on web pages it feels laggy. Even Twitter is laggy when scrolling up and down. Animations on the mac is also quite laggy. Why is this? I thought I wasn't going to expect much difference with regards to performance from my Macbook air 2013 model. This one has also a faster SSD, and 8 GB ram instead of 4GB.
Is there anything I am doing wrong?
