If you're an Apple fan for whom price is actually a consideration, then you may be pleased to know that the sexy catwalk MacBook Air is about to become less of a burden on your bank account.
Apple has knocked the price of the world's thinnest laptop down to £1,719, from £2,029 due to the fact that Solid State Drives (SSDs) have gotten cheaper.
First off, that price cut is only on the 1.8GHz one with the SSD option and secondly, while you wouldn't turn your nose up at £310 staying in your pocket, £1,719 is still an awful lot to pay. Especially when you consider that the MacBook Air with an 80GB hard disk drive costs over £500 less at £1,199. Also, the SSD option on the 1.6GHz model will now cost £389, instead of the previous £639 - a saving of £250.
The SSD in the 1.8GHz MacBook Air is a 64GB model and if you don't mind the extra cash, you'll end up with a notebook with faster boot-up times, better overall read/write performance, near silent operation and less thirst for your precious battery life.-Martin Lynch
