iphone user since 4, , ipad 3, first dive owning apple computer osx. upgrading 2008 windows pc laptop. lot of traveling abroad work , old 2008 14" asus isn't cutting anymore. weighs in @ 4.5-5.5lbs if recall. not ideal traveling. getting mba knock off close 3.5lbs. want familiar osx, have never used. laptop start. it's ideal traveling due it's size , weight.

i'm eyeing mba 11" 2015 edition (11.6in/i5-broadwell?/4gb/128gb flash mem) came out couple months ago. price @ bestbuy $899, default price anywhere base model. it's on sale $799, $100 off. received $100 off coupon because work @ university educator. coupon works sale price, bringing down cost $699+tax (roughly $750).

use ms office, such word, pp, , excel. email , web browsing. $750w/tax worth price new base model 2015 mba 11"? run smoothly yosemite osx considering using said? input or opinion on price appreciated, thanks!
 

don't let low price (for mac) or size fool you. 11" 2015 mba beast of computer. macbook pro line isn't faster.

whether or not it's worth money, you'd hard pressed find pc same size, features, , build quality. being said, it's pretty easy find pc that's bigger less features (more power-hungry processor, etc.) lot less money, depends on goals , budget.

sounds you're learning os x, 11" mba great choice.
