Apple chopped $500 off the price of the MacBook Air with SSD (solid-state drive). The price drop was not even mentioned on Apple’s home page. The $500 drop, bringing the better Air to a new $2,598, is due to a $100 decrease in the price of the 1.8Ghz Core 2 Duo chip and a $400 drop of the 64GB SSD. Considering the laptop now has a price tag below $3000, it won’t look as scary as it did before and should attract new users.
