Similar situation, butt different; running MacBook Pro mid 2009 with OS X El Capitan Version 10.11.6 and 8 jiggawatts of RAM. This device will simply not-not-not run anything Google, and struggles with MS Office as well; so I am limited to only appley products, as in Safari (11.1.2) and Apple Mail. This much older setup works just fine and is an adorable workhorse when staying within its limits - and that's okay by me (!).

Wishing you good luck with your (newer than mine) MacBook Air, and would (only) suggest that you consider sticking with everything and only Apple applications.
