I am thinking of trying to convert my 65 year-old Dad from his old Windows laptop to a Mac. Looking at the Apple refurb site, I narrowed it to these two units that are just over $900 each.
1.) $919 2011 MBA 13"

2.) $929 2012 MBA 11"

Both have an i5 1.7GHz processor, 4GB RAM, and 128GB flash storage. The tradeoffs are:
13" screen vs 11" screen
HD3000 vs HD4000
USB 2.0 vs USB 3.0
FaceTime camera vs FaceTime HD camera
The weight difference I don't think matters. What do you think? Thanks!
