Hi Phil. I have the same model here, but only 64 GB of flashdisk space. It works fine for these tasks, though I don't think I'll try garage band or any audio production stuff on it. But for browsing the web, reading email, and iWorks, you'll be fine with that one. I agree with others who suggest going a bit higher in terms of ram if possible, though I understand a budget. The way I look at it is that if you pay a bit more now, you may go much longer without having to get a new machine.
