Apple Drops MacBook Air & MacBook Pro Prices; Canada Dollar For The Win

Phew, what an intense morning. First Apple updated features and pricing on the iMac, the MacBook, and the Mac Mini. Then Apple updated their mouse to the new Magic Mouse. And finally, Apple updated their Remote. But there is one more thing and it is great news for Canadians.

Under likely suspension since the Canadian Dollar is on the rise, Apple has made the following price adjustments across their MacBook line up:

MacBook 2.26GHz

  • Was: $1,149
  • Now: $1,099
  • Savings of: $50

MacBook Air 1.86GHz

  • Was: $1,749
  • Now: $1,599
  • Savings of: $150

MacBook Air 2.13GHz

  • Was: $2,099
  • Now: $1,899
  • Savings of: $200

MacBook Pro 13-inch 2.26GHz

  • Was: $1,399
  • Now: $1,299
  • Savings of: $100

MacBook Pro 13-inch 2.53GHz

  • Was: $1,749
  • Now: $1,599
  • Savings of: $150

MacBook Pro 15-inch 2.53GHz

  • Was: $1,999
  • Now: $1,799
  • Savings of: $200

MacBook Pro 15-inch 2.66GHz

  • Was: $2,299
  • Now: $2,099
  • Savings of: $200

That new “Magic Mouse” looks awesome. Want it now!!

Yeah, nice to see prices coming down. Too bad it's AFTER I have purchased all the Apple stuff I need. :/

This is really great news. If they did this couple of months ago, I might have bought my MacBook Pro here, instead of picking one up from Oregon. In any case, I still ended up saving as I got the student discount with the free iPod touch… beat that 🙂

They may be a little cheaper, but PCs with the same speed, calibur, etc are still much less expensive. Apple still has a long way to go.

Yeah that is true, but Apple is not trying to dominate the low end segment
of the computer market–they never will. I will never use Windows ever
again!

Do it. These price drops are awesome as Apple never goes on sale. Use
an education discount for more savings too.

Even the higher end I think they're still expensive. And frankly as long as they still use OS X they won't be dominating any computer marketing segment; they'll get the niches but they won't see any big gains. Like it or not, Windows still holds 90%+ of the OS market and I don't think that will change for a very long time.

As I said.. . a long way to go.

Yes your post is correct, my friend showed me prices on his computer and he listed the educational prices as he is a university student.
