I'm considering getting my girlfriend an 11" MBA to replace her 13" MBP; she's quite jealous of my new 13" MBA 
I will be getting the RAM upgrade.
Questions:
- she runs many programs at once (stats apps, excel, etc.) and her MBP has been crashing... is that due to low RAM? (Her current MBP has 4GB) Will the new MBA be able to handle that stuff better?
- will it be able to handle dual-monitors? I know it can through the Thunderbolt, but can it handle it well enough?
Her current MBP can't do dual monitors (yes, i know there're workarounds), so being able to do dual monitors would be a huge upgrade for her.
Thanks in advance for your input!
