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.

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.

The one im looking is from apple official store at lazada. Waiting for decent voucher first. I have my windows laptop. Its quite old but still can perform. Just want to try mac os and pair it with my iphone. Thanks bro for the comment 👍🏻

QUOTE(Mancunian13 @ Feb 28 2018, 05:16 PM) 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. This post has been edited by Benefon: Feb 28 2018, 05:25 PM
