“Upgrading the diminutive desktop to 1GB of memory initially cost $475 - almost as much as the computer. It now costs $325. Apple also reduced the price for adding Bluetooth and AirPort Extreme to $99, a $30 drop, and it cut the price for upgrading to an 80GB hard drive to $50,” claims an article over CNET News.com.
