Price cut is something which is always expected from apple. These price cuts always leave the early adopters whinning and finally including themselves in apple hate club. Apple did it with Iphone, now they have done it with Macbook air also , by reducing the price of top model by whopping $500.
The deluxe model of the MacBook Air — which comes with a miniaturized version of the 1.8 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor and a 64 GB solid state drive (SSD) — has now been reduced in price from $3,098 to $2,598. Meanwhile, the price of the base model — which uses a 1.6 GHz flavor of the same processor — is still $1,799.
Apple has also lowered pricing from $300 to $200 on 1.8 GHz processor upgrades and from $999 to $599 on the SSD, an optional feature. The Air ships standard with an 80 GB hard drive.
Apple’s price drops on the Air coincide with price reductions by Intel of $100 on the 1.8 GHz processor and $400 on the SSD.
But could demand for the high-end Air be a factor, too? Some users have been complaining vocally online about a price tag of $3,098 for a notebook that includes no optical drive and only one USB port. As some see it, the Air turns in only mediocre performance.
