[QUOTE="bobtomay, post: 1549296, member: 24160"] Think the main key for those uses between the MBA and the low end MBP is going to be: Where will she use it? Will it be sitting on a desk or her lap the majority of the time? If on her lap, imho, the MBA is a killer machine for that. The wife has a 13" MBP - I much prefer using the MBA sitting in the recliner in front of the TV. Def do not buy the MBA with 2 GB RAM (it is not upgradable). With Mavericks, it appears that 4 GB RAM is doable. At least I have not had to use my 'Free Memory' app once since the 10.9 upgrade on my MBA. Need to consider the drive size in the Air and make sure it's going to be adequate for what she'll want to store locally on the machine. [/QUOTE]
