All price changes and spec updates are available now

Apple is looking to lure customers to its MacBook line by reducing prices and increasing specs on some of its higher-end models.

Apple announced today that it is cutting prices on its MacBook Pros with Retina display and even a MacBook Air model.

The 13-inch MacBook Pro with Retina display and 128GB of flash will now start at $1,499 (previously $1,699) while the model with 256GB of flash and a 2.6 GHz processor will start at $1,699 (previously $1,999).


The 13-inch MacBook Air with 256GB of flash also saw a price drop to $1,399.

The 15-inch MacBook Pro with Retina display didn't see a price cut this round, but it did get a bump in specs. This model now offers a 2.4 GHz quad-core processor (previously 2.3 GHz) while the top-of-the-line version has a 2.7 GHz quad-core processor (previously 2.6 GHz) and 16GB of memory. The price remains the same at $2,799.

Apple is likely reducing prices ahead of a refreshed line of MacBook devices. All price changes and spec updates are available now.

This is insane...wow, you've really lost it.

I am NOT interested in another Android vs iOS debate at nearly midnight. This thread isn't even ABOUT that. What the F is wrong with you? Honestly is this all you think about?

How did we even get on this? I'm pretty sure it wasn't from something I said.

It also has better apps, smoother and faster UI performance, excellent screens and battery life, things like that. I'll take it over almost uniformly inferior hardware (Droid DNA is one of the few that stacks up), inferior apps, etc. It isn't for everyone but its fine for me, no reason to get mad.


*whistles*... wow...umm okay? Just wow man. Seriously seek help.

I'm not mad, far from it. I'm genuinely and honestly perplexed and a bit concerned about your mental health. I simply do not understand this bizarre personal validation you and Tony get from aligning yourself with a consumer electronic device.

We're talking about laptops. I come home from dinner at a friends, and you suddenly make it about iOS vs Android all over again. Out of the blue. COMPLETELY unprovoked by me or anyone else. See anything wrong with this?

I brought it up because the hypocrisy of your head-spinning defense there while accusing others of doing the same, especially when they back up their points with balance and logic rather than emotion and rhetoric, is hilarious.

Nice try, exactly the response I expected.

Do us both a favor and just stay on topic next time?
