Apple has quietly dropped the price of the high-end MacBook Air by $500. The Air, which comes with a 1.8GHz upgrade (from 1.6GHz) and a 64GB Solid State Drive (SSD), is now $2,598. Compare this to the original price of the 1.8GHz/SSD MacBook Air at $3,098 just last week.
The difference in price appears to be a combination of price drops in both the processor upgrade ($200 vs. $300) and SSD ($599 vs. $999).
(And maybe it wasn't selling so good -- although I do have a colleague who loves it!)
The base price for the 1.6GHz 80GB MacBook Air remains at $1799.
Apple has emailed customers who have outstanding orders that are affected by the price drop. MacRumors.com has the gist of that correspondence.
