Hello Jenn, These days, Macs come with sixteen GB RAM as a base model. Since you are going with a MacBookAir, you’ll have the traditional function keys. Previous models had the Butterfly Keyboard, which had a high failer rate. Apple finally went back to the Sizerswitch design, and they hopefully will never try a qwerty keyboard redesign again. One advancement in the Airs is Touch ID. It’s so easy logging into them, and Apple Pay for Web is also supported. I use the Air mom has for occasional work she needs done. She’s got the 2019 Air. I personally find the Butterfly Keyboard (on 2016-2019 Macs hard on my wrists, as I have cerebral Palsy. So get a 2020 MacBookAir and you’ll be good to go. Daniel
