    The Inquisitr is quoting some unnamed source and saying Apple is ’bout to drop an $800 laptop. Yup, according to them and an alleged retail price sheet showing 12 price points starting at $800, Apple is about to break their mold and break into a whole new market of lower priced laptops. And since these price sheets aren’t printed too far in advance, we should see this laptop real soon – or at least according to them.

    Our take? If Apple produces a smaller and cheaper laptop sporting the very capable, but soon to be ‘outdated,’ specs of the current generation MacBooks, Cupertino will need to build farm silos to hold all the cash.
