id really appreciate some help as i'm struggling to decide what to buy. i am quite money conscious - however i have saved enough to buy upgrades IF they are really needed.
im going for the 13" air, but i cant decide what specs to get...
i'm a university student so will need it the laptop to last me for a good few years as i wont be able to replace it easily in the future.
it will mainly be used for office/documents, email, general browsing but also some photo editing and occasional gaming. i do have a fair amount of music i'd also like to store.
im going to get an external harddrive for the photos.
im stuck between getting:
base model with 1.8 i5, 128 GB ssd and 4gb ram (which i was quite set on upgrading to 8gb especially as its only an extra £75 for me as a student)
or
the 1.8 i5, 256 gb ssd and 4/8gb ram.
i'd like to know whether i need the extra 4gb ram for either model, and whether or not it would be worth upgrading to the 256gb model for my needs.
i really do want this computer to last a while and have mixed responses on what i should do up to now - i just want to order it now but i dont want to overspend unreasonably!
thanks for your help
