Yesterday, Apple quietly reduced the price of the Solid State Drive (SSD) option on the MacBook Air from $999 US to $599 US. Also, if you want to upgrade to the 1.8 GHz model, that option will now cost $200 US rather than $300 US. That’s a reduction of $500 US combined.
One wonders if the more pimped out configurations weren’t selling, or perhaps this report about Solid State Drives using more power than regular hard drives (despite claims to the contrary) made them take a pre-emptive move. Either way, buying a MacBook Air just got a bit cheaper.
