Hi, Either the 11 or 13 inch will be perfect for what you need. Really, the only gain from the 13 is some extra batter life and much more weight to carry around, I'd go for the 11 personally, unless the 13 has something you specifically need.
It would be very highly advisable to upgrade your RAM, in terms of performance. Unless you don't use it very much, and don't mind using external storage, I would also upgrade the SSD. It is not that important to upgrade the processor, though doing so will get you some extra speed. The Apple wireless keyboard is an alternative, but it doesn't have a power button so you'll always need to use the built in keyboard for that. It is the same, standard, Apple keyboard you always get now, same size keys, no numpad etc Must admit, I don't use my VM as much as I thought I would, but when I do, it runs faster than on any Windows machine Cheers Dave On 2 Jul 2014, at 21:54, Juliette <jmswi...@samobile.net> wrote: > Hi all, > I am looking at purchasing a Mac book Air 13-inch model with 256 GB haed > drive.
