Hi all, i want to ask sifus opinion. I am thinking to purchase MBA 11 inch early 2015 (4gb ram, 128gb ssd). Saw in lazada can get about 2.9k. Any real life users here? Just want to try new OS. Want to use for microsoft office, netflix and web browsing.

4GB RAM will be your bottleneck.

I'm using a 2012 MBA also with 4gb RAM and 128gb. Good enough for the tasks you listed.

For Office, i feel that running Office windows in Parallels is better than Office for mac.

No issues for your usage. But go buy from apple authorized reseller should be better since they also offering similar price and you can get it immediately.

Im using MBA 13" for my office use.

4Gb of ram is ok, but 128Gb of storage you may suffer after few months later
MBA is good for budget laptop.

But the price can afford MBP 13 late 2013 or 2014.
Will be much better performing than Air.

Yup, used in Lowyat have a lot choices.
MBA battery not really long lasting than the MBP 13.
From MBP 13 screen was retina the colours very impressed.

But still under your budget and choice.
