Thanks Ann, I think Mountain Lion itself takes up about 30 GB or more, so, a 128 GB flash should leave more than ample disk space even with a 30-40GB dropbox account.

Hello Phil,

I have a MacBook Air with similar specifications, except that mine has an older processor and dates from 2011. It's a lovely fast little machine and my favourite of all the Macs I've owned.

Cheers,

Anne

I'm seriously considering purchasing a MAC Air 11 inch with the only upgrade being a 128 flash drive from the default 64 GB flash drive.

It has:
1.7 I5 processor
4GB 1600 MHZ ram
128GB flash drive

My questions:
is this sufficient to do basic internet, mail etc plus iWork apps like Pages and Numbers? or, do I need a ram upgrade to 8GB? I'm not looking for a power machine, just something to do basic stuff plus simple word processing and spreadsheet during travel.

the 13 inch has a 1.8 I5 processor with upgrades to I7 series, but I'm not yet convinced that is necessary for my needs.

Any thoughts or ideas, educated or otherwise welcome.
