If a report is to be believed, Cupertino giant Apple is mulling over launching a $799 MacBook Air model in the third quarter of this year.

According to a report from Digitimes, Apple is "considering responding to the upcoming second-generation ultrabooks by launching a $799 MacBook Air."

Currently, Apple's MacBook Air series starts at $999 for the 11-inch 64GB model and goes up to $1599.

But such a move from Apple seems to be unlikely as ultrabooks have not posed any threat to Apple's MacBook Air.
