My aunt is considering buying an 11 inch Macbook Air and since I only have experience with the Pro's I was wondering if someone can give me some advice on this

http://cgi.ebay.com/Apple-MacBook-Air-11.6in-1.4GHz-MC505LL-A/280643629715#ht_1406wt_1140

that is the specific one she is considering buying

her main uses are Excel Word eMail Video Chatting and WebBrowsing would she have any issues with this

btw for example the excel files are like 3-4000 rows long and about 30 columns wide

I doubt shed have much issue with this, but i'd just like to be sure before recommending it. So would just like some advice from you who are more experienced with the computer

thanks

Honestly, I'd be a little concerning about screen real estate if you're working with massive Excel files.

thx for the reply ... i know about the small screen being kind of an issue but ... was more asking in relation to performance wise it should handle that kinda stuff fine right ... not going to freeze every time she opens an excel file is it?
