Any Apple gurus?

My old laptop is more or less on the verge of going belly up and thinking of replacing with an Apple one. However, knowing sod all about comps, I have no idea which.

Called into the shop in town today and saw the MacBook Pro and the MacBook Air. What's the difference? I know I could ask in the shop but they'd sell me the one that suited them to sell.

Don't really wish to pay more than £1200. The only things it'd be used for are internet access, typing monthly invoices and keeping pics on. Not into gaming or watching films on it etc.

What I do like on a comp is speed of doing things e.g. starting up, opening programs,and general usability.

Any ideas which would be the best suited? My current one is 6 yrs old and has been all over the world in a rucksack and has stood the battering well. A new one wouldn't leave the house these days.

Try calling in at the Apple shop in Oxford street. I told them what I wanted the computer for many years ago and they didn't try and sell me something I didn't need. I'm hoping the iPad pro coming out soon will do everything I need. I will call in there again to discuss my needs

Only ever bought one computer and that's out of date. Don't plan to buy another. Going back to use a slide rule so I don't have to worry about software updates.

Don't know much about Apple,but do drink a lot of Cider from time to time if that's any help
