I’d also upgrade the ram over the processor, unless you want to run those apps that require a lot of processor power like VMFusion etc. I bought a 13” Air a year or so ago and upgraded to 8 gigabytes of ram. But, because I also wanted to run windows on the mac under fusion, I upgraded to an i7 processor from the stock i5. The machine is lightning fast compared to machines that use mechanical drives.
