Have you tried doing a fresh install? Did any benchmarks on it?Do you do any kind of work on your MacBook? I don't know, it surprises me when I hear people have positive experience with MBA 2018. Mine is really laggy.

Yes, of course. Most days, all day.Do you do any kind of work on your MacBook?
And yet I've been using an MBA 2018 for well over a year now without any issues. It's also 8/128, which is more than enough for most things – certainly everything the MBA is designed for. However, I'm still on Mojave.This brand new, entry level 1149 computer cannot be used to video streaming and light text work comfortably.

I own MacBook Air 2018 too and it's indeed slow. I think it's thermals to blame, sometimes it gets hot even when I do nothing. What we can try is using Macs Fan Control app to manually run the fans. It's surprising to hear that MacBook Pro 2015 runs better.I am using a 2015 MacBook Pro with 16GB and just dusted off, wiped and reset my MacBook Air 2018 for my kid - my God how is the 2015 Machine INCREDIBLY faster than the 2018 machine? Boggles the mind. The MacBook Air constantly chokes - even just while scrolling desktops.
@B/D I saw your note about UI causing stress - that explains why the stuttering of the MBA is most obvious while scrolling the desktops or web pages vertically with elements on it. a 2018 machine miles behind a 2015 laptop should have been a class-action lawsuit.
Q: Has anyone figured out how to speed up this 2018 MacBook Air or if there's some shady thermal throttling that Apple is doing which is slowing the computer? Or turn off all the 'crazy' UI graphics stress?
The fan in the MBA 2018 (and 2019) is not blowing over the heatsink but is off in its own corner mostly just making some noise and providing some "ambient" chassis cooling.I am using a 2015 MacBook Pro with 16GB and just dusted off, wiped and reset my MacBook Air 2018 for my kid - my God how is the 2015 Machine INCREDIBLY faster than the 2018 machine?
