- APPLE REDUCES PRICES ON MEMORY EXPANSION KITS
-
-
- CUPERTINO, California--March 19, 1990--Apple Computer, Inc. announced today
- price decreases of up to 50 percent on its Macintosh memory expansion kits.
-
- Prices were reduced on memory kits for almost all Macintosh systems as well as
- LaserWriter NTX printers.
-
- "This widespread price reduction on memory benefits not only our installed base
- of customers but new users as well," said David Hancock, senior vice president
- marketing, Apple USA. "Additional memory allows users to better utilize
- powerful products like MultiFinder and HyperCard today. And, they'll be in a
- position to take full advantage of our System Software 7.0 which will ship
- later this year."
-
- Apple has seen some improvement in the cost of key components of its Macintosh
- systems. "We are experiencing some lower memory component costs and are now in
- a position to pass those savings on to our customers in the form of less
- expensive memory kits and savings on Macintosh computers with lots of standard
- memory," said Hancock.
-
- The company announced corresponding price decreases on selected highly
- configured versions of the Macintosh IIx, IIcx and IIci. These systems feature
- large amounts of standard memory (4MB) and large capacity hard disks (either
- 80MB or 160MB).
-
- In addition, Apple lowered the price on its Apple Hard Disk 20SC by more than
- 20 percent. The 20SC is a 20MB hard disk drive popular with customers of floppy
- disk-based systems such as the Macintosh Plus and SE.
-
- The new U.S. pricing structure is effective immediately. Current and previous
- suggested retail prices are attached.
