[QUOTE="rugbyant, post: 1366620, member: 237107"] Hi All, Thank you for reading my post. Im changing my personal computers to Apple after many years. It is a two stage approach (to get past the wife!) - first is to buy her a 'laptop'. I contemplated an iPad, but have decided she prefers a ever present keyboard. So i have looked at Airbooks and Mac books. Need advise on which way to go? She will use it for emails, Facebook and some light excel (or numbers) work. Storage wise i was going to get a separate drive for anything beefy. I initially was going to go with the 11" 2Gb mem and 64Gb HD but not sure if 2Gb is sufficient as i am new to Apple computers. Can anyone help? Is this base model adequate for her simple needs? I will eventually (6 months time) buy myself an iMac and Time machine, so the need for optical is minimal if at all. Many thanks, Ant [/QUOTE]
