$800 Apple Laptop Coming?

Rumors are circulating that Apple will release an $800 laptop, that's $300 cheaper than its current low end model.

There are always rumors going around about upcoming Apple products, based on little more than hope and whispers. But this time Apple is fueling the fire itself.

The company has issued an invitation to journalists for an event on October 14. There’s’ very little detail besides a picture of a laptop lid and the phrase “The spotlight turns to notebooks.”

That has started tongues wagging, and the current beliefs are that Apple will introduce a MacBook with an aluminum skin, according to MacNewsWorld. But much of the current thinking is that the company will lower its MacBook price – Apple has already said it will become more competitive on price – and the low-end MacBook might be $800, which is $300 cheaper than current prices.
