It's even something to sneeze into ! These polishing cloths are quite soft for sensitive nostrils !

When original price starting at $2000! Then they increased the starting price to $2500 because of RAM price hike! Now with $49 off seems like a good deal! FML.

Only a small reduction in price. However good to see these reductions/price drop especially when it is not yet released or available to purchase. Will be interesting to see the discounts on these Macs towards Black Friday or Christmas.
