Apple has "silently" launched an updated version of Macbook Airs. Both the 11" and 13" receive a minor spec bump, however the 13" versions are $50 cheaper than the outgoing models.

13-inch : 128GB $1199
13-inch : 256GB $1399

    What's updated?

    100MHz for the CPU only?

      According to MacRumors, bumped advertised battery life as well.

    Correct. But not a deal since that's the price all the time from now on.
    Sorry I don't mean to be rude.

      But not a deal since that's the price all the time from now on.

      Correct me if I'm wrong but the Nexus 5 launch was considered a "deal" from Google Play at launch even though it was being sold at RRP and "that's the price all the time from now on". Same went with Nexus 4 after the $100 price drop even though "that's the price all the time from now on".

      I'm not saying this particular MacBook Air post is a deal, but your logic makes no sense when in the past, RRP HAS been considered a deal.

      Seriously this ozbargain double standard…

        You also have to consider that the Nexus 5 was well priced at RRP for the specs it was offering compared to it's competitors. I don't think this Macbook is in the same category as the Nexus deals.

  • cminez on 29/04/2014 - 20:43

    • walletinspector on 29/04/2014 - 21:49

  • Cap N on 30/04/2014 - 16:42

    Bought the old one from JB about 2 weeks ago… weeps

  • boretentsu on 06/05/2014 - 20:33

    How is it that when the US version raises it's price by US$100, the corresponding increase in AUD is more. Then when prices drop by US$100, the corresponding AUD drop is less?
