New MacBook (base model) enough for my needs?

[Someone1039]

I have a 15-inch MacBook Pro Retina, so this new MacBook will probably be my secondary.

I plan on using it for:

* Netflix (in HD)

* YouTube

* Browsing web

* Word Processing


If you don't recommend please state why and which other MacBook I should get.

Plenty.

Trying to balance a checkbook with a Cray-2 as they say?

Is this what I call the "legacy" MBP? Listed for $1099 on the Apple site and one of the last survivors that has USER upgradeability for RAM and HDD/SSD's?

If so, yes. It's essentially what I am typing on now. Except newer. Mine is a Late 2011 MBP and kicking just fine. I do more with mine than you are anticipating and no disappointments.
