Apple cuts price on entry-level Mac computer

Apple said on Tuesday it cut the price of one of its entry-level Macintosh computers by $100 and made upgrades to the microprocessors and other components on the eMac line.

Computer maker Apple Computer Inc. said on Tuesday that it cut the price on one of its entry-level Macintosh computers by $100 to $999 and upgraded the microprocessors and other components on the eMac line.

Apple's eMac desktop computers are targeted at homes and schools and now sell for $799, as before, and $999, down from $1,099, the company said.

Cupertino, California-based Apple has only a few percentage points of market share of the personal computer market but is well-known because of its high-style designs and most recently for its digital music players.

Apple said that both the $799 and $999 computers have 1.25 gigahertz, or 1.25 billion cycles per second, G4 microprocessors -- an increase from the 1 gigahertz processors they had before.
