As the price of NAND flash memory continues to decline, Apple has recently reduced the price of the Solid State Drive (SSD) MacBook Air by $500.
“The Cupertino-based Mac maker is now selling its super slim 13-inch 1.8GHz MacBook Air with a 64GB Solid State Drive for $2598, down from the $3098 fetching price that was listed as recently as last week.”
“The half-grand markdown is a result of price cuts to two separate components. First, Apple reduced the price of the Air’s 1.8GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor upgrade by $100 to just $200.”
“Secondly, the company slashed the cost of the Flash memory-based 64GB SSD drive upgrade to $599 from $999. That means customers can now configured a 1.6GHz MacBook Air with an SSD drive for as little as $2398.”
Additional Thoughts: With the sinking cost of flash memory and this big of a price cut, now would certainly be as good a time as any to pick up a MacBook Air. For those of you that have been holding out, this just might be what was needed to take that final plunge.
