Apple issued invitations on Thursday, for an event next Tuesday on its Cupertino, Calif., campus that will publicize laptops. "The spotlight turns to notebooks," the invitation sent to reporters read. 

The company is expected to come up with the new versions of its MacBook and MacBook Pro notebook computers.

However, the million dollar question is: Will Apple introduce laptops that are under $1,000? Experts do believe that the laptops would start at less than $800, compared with $1,099 now. Due to the present market conditions, the American MNC is uncompromisingly cutting its prices.

Speaking on this, Ezra Gottheil, an analyst at Technology Business Research Inc. said, “Apple's never had to go into a lower-priced mode.”

"They've never faced serious price pressure,” he added.

Apple's sales depend heavily upon the markets of US and Western Europe. Since September 26, the stocks of the company had already shed about 25% on the worries of economic slowdown in these markets.
