I love how portable and light the MacBook Air looks and I'd like to buy one. The main things I will be using it for are: word processing, web, email.
1. Does the MacBook Air come with a word processing program of any sort?
2. If I were to install Microsoft Word onto the laptop, would it slow it down considerably? (Word is what I'm using now on my old laptop)
