Hi,
I am a college student and I wish to purchase a Macbook Air. I decided on the 11 with 8GB but unfortunately that is not available in India, as we dont have Apple online store.
However, I have the option of getting it through my relatives in Thailand but then the date of getting it gets pushed to much.
I wanted to inquire that should i wait for the 8GB or settle for 4GB. I will not be using the air for heavy purpose like Aperture, iMovie just light things like browsing, making presentation, writing assignments etc. Although I will be requiring to run VMs a lot for doing college work, I do not know how much the 4 gigs of RAM will affect my performance considering this will be the first time I will be using a machine with SSD. I have MacPro(3TB,8GB,i7) at home that will be used for all my other tasks like Aperture, iMovie and gaming.
Also has anyone bought the 4GB Macbook Air mid 2012 and regrets not having bought the 8GB?
Thanks
