The best Mac word processor I ever used was Word version 4. That was back in the late 1980s. The software was lean and perfect for what I did as a journalist: straight text. rarely a bold or an italic used since the graphic designer would add those. Word now is too fat with so much self-publishing stuff I don't need. But it's the industry standard and what my clients want my docs to be when they receive them, so I play along. I wish I could just pare it down to a much more streamlined version without all the styles to stumble into and correct out of.
MacBook Air features up to 8GB of memory, a fifth-generation Intel Core processor, Thunderbolt 2, great built-in apps, and all-day battery life.1 Its thin, light, and durable enough to take everywhere you go-and powerful enough to do everything once you get there, better.
I was a Mac user for 15 years before being forced to the PC world at a particular employer. I like PCs just fine, especially the desktops, but PC laptops with any good guts are heavy and hot and pricey. The Best Buy associate who helped me showed me several Chromebooks and PC laptops first, but confided he liked the MacBook the best. He demoed it, and I quickly agreed, but I was a little hesitant to spend the $200 more on it vs. a PC. I told my wife about it, who told me to quit complaining and just buy the machine I wanted since I'm a writer who uses it all the time. I'm so glad I took her advice. This is far better than any PC laptop or Chromebook I've ever owned or used. No comparison. Just spend the extra money for the better construction, performance, lightweight and portability. Can't be beat for the money.
