The March 2015 update of Apple's 13" MacBook Air features fifth generation Intel Core i5 and i7 processors, resulting in slightly increased performance and battery life.

Upgrading RAM and Storage (SSD)

I currently hold 8gb memory with 128gb storage. Am at a point where am at half of the storage to 57.02gb left. Am worried that my MacBook Air will start acting up if I let these things pass and not upgrade. I just really want to give this device a longer lifespan and a better performance. What is your suggestion.

Answer this question I have this problem too

Is this a good question?

Sadly, your systems RAM is limited to 8GB so you do need to be a bit more aggressive on having free space on the SSD to compensate for that.

I would upgrade the SSD to at least 480GB or better yet a full 1TB MacBook Pro and MacBook Air (Mid 2013 to Early 2015) Blade SSD Upgrade Bundle That should give you lots of virtual RAM space as well as extra space!
