The streaky Digitimes is reporting today that Apple is preparing a cheap $799 version of their popular ultrabook.
If accurate, the MacBook Air will sell for just $799, $200 cheaper than the current base model.
The source claims the Apple supply chain is gearing up for a third quarter release of the device.
While there is no word on specs, it is easy to see why Apple would drop the price on the ultrabook. Rivals like Intel have been aggressively pushing ultrabooks for 2012, with Intel recently stating that $599 ultras will be available by the end of the year, sporting mid-to-high end features.
