1.8GHz SSD MacBook Air Drops $500
The high end MacBook Air comes equipped with a 1.8GHz upgrade (from 1.6GHz) and a 64GB Solid State Drive (SSD). The total price for the high end laptop is $2598. Compare this to the original price of the 1.8GHz/SSD MacBook Air at $3098 just last week (Google Cache).
The base price for the 1.6GHz 80GB Hard Drive MacBook Air remains at $1799. The difference in price appears to be a combination of price drops in both the processor upgrade ($200 vs $300) and SSD ($599 vs $999).

No true ethernet port, no purchase.
No video out, no purchase.
Just a single USB port, no purchase.
That easy to make it right!
Probably if so will be around £1800 as it is £2028 for the SSD model at the moment.
Edit: Yup, now the option for a SSD on the 1.6 is down to $599.
