Apple drops top Macbook Air price

Just an arm and three quarters of a leg now, Airheads

THE KINDLY FOLK at Cupertino have lopped £300 ($500) off of the price of the top-spec Macbook Air.

Still the thinnest notebook in the world, and guaranteed to make your average Apple fanboi's winky go a bit funny at thirty paces, the 64GB SSD version has dropped from £2028 to a slightly less wallet-worrying £1719.

We can only assume that the price drop is due to the crashing prices of solid state memory and the 1.8MHz CPU from Intel.

Specs remain unchanged. µ

right name


fruity tunes certainly gave the macbook AIR the right name, cos they certainly pulled the furkin price out of thin air lol,

dont they have a brilliant pricing model for their overpriced, over hyped shiny plastic jesus toys, namely, think of a number, quadruple it, if sales arent high enough after a couple of weeks, knock a couple of percent off (which gives a number that looks/sounds big),

get back to backdated stock option fiddling for a couple of weeks and if not satisfactory, repeat process until satisfactory, absolutelyfurkinbloodywell awesome O_O

1.8Mhz Beast!

No wonder all these apple nuts claim they have the best, must be awesome being able to harness the power of 1.8Mhz!

Not "thinnest in the world" anymore

It is not the "thinnest in the world" anymore. The new Voodoo Envy is just as thin and has much better features.

Re:1.8MHz Beast!

It sounds like some people are enjoying a throwback to the old Apple II days. :)
