Hello! 
This has already been discussed in the Apple thread but since it’s huge news, I thought I should post about it in a more public setting.
Until the end of August, Apple is running a program offering a steep discount of 12% on its MacBook and MacBook Pro lines. If you’re a student, faculty or staff in any of the several qualifying universities across India, you are eligible for the discount. These are the discounted prices (inclusive of taxes):
White MacBook 1: Rs. 45,000
White MacBook 2: Rs. 55,000
Black MacBook: Rs. 60,000
15-inch MacBook Pro 1: Rs. 80,000
15-inch MacBook Pro 2: Rs. 1,00,000
17-inch MacBook Pro: Rs. 1,15,000
Check out the configuration of the MacBook and MacBook Pro models by clicking on the appropriate links. You can also find a list of the qualifying universities on this page (look at the options for the drop down menu). You might also want to read the reasons why you’ll love a Mac and peruse through Apple’s list of Frequently Answered Questions if you’re interested in going for a Mac. They also have some pretty funny television commercials worth checking out.
If you’ve ever been interested in purchasing a Mac and were deterred by the price, this should come as good news to you. Apple very rarely offers discounts on their products in India and never of this magnitude. This is the cheapest you’ve ever been able to buy Mac notebooks in India. If you have any more questions about buying Macs (like whether it runs Windows or not and what is the customer support like, etc.), feel free to post them in this thread and I (or someone else) will answer them the best I (we) can.
P.S.: This is neither a sales pitch nor an attempt to start another flame war. I know that the most common (and perhaps only) factors preventing most people from purchasing Macs are ignorance and price. My only aim is to address prospective Mac purchasers about what they’re about to jump into and inform them about the drastically lower prices. Please don’t start a flame war here.
