You could get a newer Macbook Air with more RAM (for more money) but I think this computer will serve my requirements for a good long time. The biggest limitation will probably be the non-upgradeable 2GB RAM. Looking to the future, the battery is good and is user replaceable, and the hard drive can also be upgraded. The 120 GB hard drive is plenty for my needs. I use an Internet Security/Virus Prot ection program (Norton) and and Text Editor (Pages). You could easily download required applications. It detected my wireless printer (Brother) and took seconds to add it to the system. Even with only 2GB RAM, it is wonderfully fast and a pleasure to work on. I am using the computer for email and web browsing. With OS 10.6 installed I was able to download a free upgrade to the latest Mac OS (currently Yosemite 10.10.5) and it works perfectly. I had a USB disc drive (Apple Superdrive) and Mac OS 10.6 Snow Leopard install discs ( you could probably find both on eBay ) and upgraded the operating system. The one I bought came with Mac OS 10.5 (Leopard).
