http://www.networkworld.com/news/2009/092509-new-imacs-and-the-cheapening.html

The big picture is Apple's continued push for lower prices, even as the company thrives on the high-end.

That gave Cupertino some ammunition against Microsoft's "Laptop Hunter" ads, which generally claim that affordable Macs cannot be found.
