Apple has made some significant reduction in the prices of its MacBook range of laptops. As per the latest report, 13 inch Apple MacBook Pro with Retina Display is now priced at $1,499 while the 13-inch MacBook Air laptop is now available at $1,299 with 256 gigabytes of flash memory. The 13 inch Apple MacBook Pro now is also available with a new 2.6 gigahertz processor, 256 gigabytes flash memory version at a price of $1,699.

Also, there is a news that Apple 15-inch MacBook Pro has been upgraded with a faster 2.4 gigahertz quad-core processor and the top-end 15-inch notebook with a new 2.7 gigahertz quad-core processor and 16GB of memory.

The reduced pricing from Apple is seen with the dismal looking sales of Macbook in the holiday quarter. One of the major reasons for the same is the growing popularity of Apple iPad which has looked to be a good alternative to MacBooks though not as as versatile as the MacBooks.

Anyways. the price cut looks to be good step. Hope this helps Apple in selling more MacBooks this year..!
