Apple Cuts Price of SSD MacBook Air

As SSD prices continue to fall, we start seeing the drop in price from more and more OEMs. Apple’s long been notorious for keeping their price points on their Mac line until a product refresh, but competition no doubt forced their hand.

The top of the line MacBook Air dropped in price from $3,098.00 to $2598.00, a $500 discount. As our source points out, an Air with an SSD drive can be configured for as little as $2,398.00 without any external (refurbished or educational) discount. With OZC’s introduction of their more affordable solid-state drives, hopefully we’ll see prices drop even further for other products as well.

 With the price of NAND flash memory continuing its steady sequential decline, Apple Inc. this month cut the price of its Solid State Drive (SSD)-equipped MacBook Air by half a grand, AppleInsider has discovered.
