If only we knew how much it cost Apple to make each Air.


According to very unreliable BOM analysis (http://www.macworld.co.uk/digitallifestyle/news/index.cfm?ne...), $718

It's unclear whether that's total cost to manufacture or only the price for the parts. It's also unclear how they estimate things like the unibody shell.

In any case, that strikes out any chance of "sub-500" as it's very likely an under-estimate.


Thanks. Sounds too high to me for the small Air, but what do I know!
