The Apple MacBook Air is now priced at $2598, down from the $3098. The cut is a result of price cuts to two separate components including the 1.8GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor upgrade by $100 to just $200 and the Flash memory-based 64GB SSD drive upgrade to $599 from $999. In addition, the 1.6GHz MacBook Air with an SSD drive now retails for $2398. [AppleInsider via Laptop Blog]
