The 11.6-inch MacBook Air, once priced at $899, is no more.

After unveiling new MacBook Pros at an event in Cupertino, California today, Apple trimmed its MacBook Air line. Going forward, the company will only sell its existing 13.3-inch MacBook Air, with a slight change: All 13.3-inch Airs now ship with 8GB of memory.

The 13-inch notebook otherwise remains unchanged, and still starts at $999. Apple’s smallest-screened laptop is now the 12-inch MacBook, which starts at $1,299.

If cheap is what you’re after, maybe buy a Chromebook?
