Inquisitr is reporting that retailers in the US have received price lists for the much rumoured updated Apple portable line:

Some Apple retailers in the United States have been given price lists for a new Apple laptop line, and there’s a big surprise: an $800 laptop. The information comes from a source we would categorize as reliable, would have access to such information, and who has been accurate in the past.

The USD$800 laptop would be Apple’s first portable under the $1,000 mark. The article goes on to say that the price lists are usually sent to retailers about 10 days before the products are available in store. I’m going to guess there’ll be invitations sent on Friday to an event on Tuesday, 14th October [a date that has been widely speculated for the release of this updated line of portables]
