Apple lops money off

Time has a short article about new Apple pricing:

Announced in October, Apple’s thirteen-inch Retina MacBook Pro carried a starting price of $1,700. Apple has now cut that to $1,500. The high-end model now costs $1,700 and includes a faster processor. The fifteen-inch Retina MacBook Pro models, announced in June, have gotten processor upgrades as well, but no price cuts. The price of the high-end thirteen-inch MacBook Air has been lowered to $1,400, too.

The thirteen-inch MacBook Pro with Retina display now starts at $1,499 for 128GB of flash, and $1,699 for a new 2.6 GHz processor and 256GB of flash. The fifteen-inch MacBook Pro with Retina display now features a faster 2.4 GHz quad-core processor, and the top-of-the-line fifteen-inch notebook comes with a new 2.7 GHz quad-core processor and 16GB of memory. Apple today also announced that the thirteen-inch MacBook Air with 256GB of flash has a new lower price of $1,399.
