Lol, I got my $2000 MacBook Pro for Rs 72,000 along with a free iPod! I'll buy the Macs only in the USA. The price in India is insanely high.

You guys are forgetting that even in USA, they have to pay tax which will come on top of $1800. The Tax for my MBP ($2k) in Texas was $163 (which is the maximum for any state in USA). But then some state dont have tax and the taxes are not the same. I shipped my MBP to Delaware state where there's no Tax.


Aayush, not only in India, even in Dubai/UAE where there's NO TAX, it's expensive. MBP starts from Dhs 8,800 (Rs 96,500) and the 17" costs Dhs 12,000+ (Rs 1,32,000+).

I made a slight mistake, based on jamesbond007's post. The price of Rs. 96,100 is inclusive of taxes. All the prices indicated on the Apple Online Stores are inclusive of taxes, even those on the American Apple Online Store.

That only shaves Rs. 4,000 off the price though, so that's no big deal.

Query: Suppose I subscribe to some podcasts in iTunes, when do they get downloaded ? Can I schedule their time of download ?

As soon as new episodes of the podcast are released, they are automatically downloaded (if you have subscribed to it). And if the podcast is synced with your ipod they get automatically transferred there as well.

As far I know, there's no way to schedule it other than make iTunes stop automatically downloading them in the podcasts options in the preferences.

Twenty-five people have already ordered MBAs at that exorbitant price in one day in India. I'm shocked. I'd thought that they wouldn't be able to sell a single unit.

The actual price of the MacBook Air is Rs. 91,500, inclusive of all taxes. The Online Store always lists higher prices than what they actually are.

But still, it is too damn expensive. :(

prices on apple canada store are not inclusive of taxes!

Just a few minutes ago, when I woke up my computer from sleep, I couldn't move my mouse or use the keyboard. It was acting really strange. for a while, I could use my wacom tablet, but then the wacom tablet stopped working. the blue light on it started blinking... (it should be on constantly) I tried to restart it, but because nothing was working, I couldn't do anything. I closed the lid and opened it again. The trackpad would work for a few seconds and stop working again! so I turned it off by pressing and holding the power button for a few seconds and then started it up to make this post.
what could have caused that? any idea?

Yes, I am. You don't have to spend so much time troubleshooting a Mac.

Jot down some of the serious problems with it with steps on how to reproduce the problem. If you have a few solid problems, you should get due attention from the Apple Store guys without any issues. Visit the Genius Bar, maybe. :)

the thing is, not all of these problems are reproducible. and I don't know which or how many are software based and how many are hardware related.

I called up apple support, and they said I should try manually installing the keyboard update again. Lets see.
