Flash Memory MacBook Air

July 7, 2008 in Technology

The flash-memory based MacBook Air has dropped $500. Originally you would have paid a $999 premium if you wanted it with a solid-state hard drive, but Apple has reduced that premium to $599. It’s also now cheaper to upgrade the processor from 1.6GHz to 1.8GHz, $200 instead of $300, on either the flash model or the one with the standard hard drive. The drops in hardware prices brings down the price of the MacBook Air. Prices start at $1799.99.
