The Base MacBook Air stil starts at $1,799.00 but the 64 MB SSD version now starts at $2,598.00 - down from the previous $3098.00 still a pretty stiff price premium for 16 GB less storage capacity and little if any advantage in speed ot battery life. Put another way, the the Flash memory-based 64GB SSD drive upgrade now costs $599 instead of $999.
