MacBook Air discounted 500 USD

Apple has announced a $ 500 discount on MacBook Air models with SSD solid-state drives. Accordingly, this product price is from 3,098 USD to 2,598 USD.

This decision was made by Apple because the price of NAND flash memory used for SSD production has been declining recently. Specifically, the price of two components in the machine including an upgraded Intel Core 2 Duo 1.8GHz processor is reduced from US $ 200 to US $ 100 and the drive-based flash memory upgrades the 64GB SSD 999 USD to 599 USD.

Market analysts said in the past six months hard drive prices have fallen by about 37%, prices of some other components have also dropped significantly.

Many people believe that when the newly launched Macbook Air SSD version was pushed too high price, more expensive than the Macbook Air more than 1,000 USD. The difference between the two is that the Macbook Air version of the SSD has a 1.8GHz CPU and 64GB SSD, while the standard version is a 1.6GHz CPU and an 80GB HDD.
