Depends a bit on how long you plan to keep the thing. Today's power
machines become tomorrow's low-end door stop. Because you can't upgrade
memory on these units you might want to over-buy today so you'll get
more life out of the machine. So if it were me, I'd spring for the 8GB
RAM as you won't be able to make that upgrade later. The SSD, at least
according to OWC, is replacible on the 2012 MacBook Air.

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.
