[QUOTE="bobtomay, post: 1549449, member: 24160"] I'd say that's a nice MBA for the price. As I noted above - 4 GB RAM is not nearly the issue with 10.9 as it was with 10.8 and should be ok with the primary uses. Only have 4 GB in mine and it's been fairly rare I've seen it under 1 GB free with 10.9 vs the <100 MB free almost every day under 10.7 & 10.8. I'd take a look at whatever computer she's using now and check to see how much space she's using currently to get an idea if 128 GB drive will be large enough or if she'll need an external to keep some data on. In any case, budget the money for an external drive if you don't already have one available at the same time you buy the computer - and get in the habit of backing it up. [/QUOTE]
