Apple Updates MacBook Air and Drops Price to $1499
Today at WWDC, Apple announced major changes to their laptop line. Amongst these, Apple has updated the MacBook Air and discounted the entry level price significantly.
Apple today also updated the incredibly thin and light MacBook Air, making it more powerful and more affordable. Measuring just 0.16 to 0.76-inches thin and weighing just three pounds, the MacBook Air is available in two models starting with the new entry price of $1,499 for a 1.86 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo system with a 120GB hard drive and NVIDIA GeForce 9400M graphics, and a 2.13 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo system with a 128GB solid state drive and NVIDIA GeForce 9400M graphics for $1,799.
The $1499 entry level price represents a $300 drop from before, while the $1799 model represents a $700 drop in price for the high end model. Meanwhile, the clock speeds have increased from 1.6GHz and 1.8GHz to 1.86GHz and 2.13GHz respectively.Top Rated Comments

The affordable, ultralight market is starting to heat up now. It's good to see a price drop on the Air.
They're one of the few shows in town with a decent IGP. You have to go AMD to get a 690G or soon a 780G.

For a while, a refurb Air was the cheapest full-warranty Mac laptop you could get!
I think it's the ideal laptop for most people (cost aside) so it's good to see it cheaper.
It certainly meets 99% of my varied computing needs (pretty much all but 3D games and big-screen home movie viewing).
