$800 MacBook Rumors May Be Fading

October 13, 2008

Looks like rumors about Apple releasing an $800 MacBook are quickly fading, since price points have shown up on a Best Buy price sheet over the weekend. According to Gizmodo, some tipsters received the Best Buy documentation with price drop in sight. The SKU sheets use colors for code names next to the price listings, which appear to be exactly the same as those already in place for the current line of Apple notebooks. GREEN = $1,999.99 - 15" MacBook Pro base model PURPLE = $2,799.99 - 17" MacBook Pro base model YELLOW = $1,499.99 - 13" MacBook top end model BLUE = $2,499.99 - 15" MacBook Pro mid model ORANGE = $1,299.99 - 13" MacBook mid Model RED = $1,099.99 - 13" MacBook base model Whether or not these exact prices will be used, if more will be added, or if there's still hope for a drop, won't be known until Apple's media event tomorrow.
