Slash Lane
The Cupertino-based Mac maker is now selling its super slim 13-inch 1.8GHz MacBook Air with a 64GB Solid State Drive for $2598, down from the $3098 fetching price that was listed as recently as last week.
The half-grand markdown is a result of price cuts to two separate components. First, Apple reduced the price of the Air's 1.8GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor upgrade by $100 to just $200.
Secondly, the company slashed the cost of the Flash memory-based 64GB SSD drive upgrade to $599 from $999. That means customers can now configured a 1.6GHz MacBook Air with an SSD drive for as little as $2398.

Oooohhh....Daddy want....
LOL what a deal.
still a large waste of money.
WHAT! This is unfair! I was an early adopter! I need store credit! I need to sue someone!
Just kidding. That was not a real rant. I am an early MBA SSD adopter, but I'm glad to have helped bring SSDs out into the marketplace more, and hopefully help drive prices down a bit. So I'm proud to have done my part!

I disagree. I love my MBA with SSD. It's snappy. It's silent. It's sleek.
If I can afford it, and it makes me happy and fits my needs in a laptop, then my
money's not "wasted". Far from it, actually.
Is a 128MB SSD not far away?
