![]() I suspect Apple is making room for an eventual MacBook Air with Retina Display. The entry level 11.6-inch system now starts at $899. The bigger news is that, hot on the heels of a solid financial quarter, Apple is dropping all MBA prices by $100. The upgraded CPU option hasn't changed, and Apple continues to accept nothing less than Intel's HD 5000 (Haswell GT3) on any of its MBAs. The extra 100MHz won't change much, you can expect a 0 - 3% increase in performance compared to last year's entry level model. The 1.3GHz Core i5-4250U is replaced by a 1.4GHz Core i5-4260U. The chassis and internal specs haven't changed, however the base CPU gets a slight speed bump. With Intel's 14nm Broadwell SoC delayed, this mid-cycle update still uses Haswell ULT parts. This morning Apple announced its 2014 MacBook Air refresh.
