All MacBook Pros, obtained by any means, are fair game at that price.

(If they come with a warranty.)

You guys _do_ know that I desperately want to move onto something portable, don't you ? If this is good enough, I'd be getting it right away.

no gray market product comes with warranty of more than 2 days that too if bought form a shop that is not a portable 1

 

[goobimama]

2 Days is enough of time for product testing IMO

 

[iMav]

^^ will apple provide u with support incase its gray market product

 

[aryayush]

You said they would...

 

[jamesbond007]

Why would anyone care for warranty if it comes for so low as 42K, god its a steal!!

 

[drgrudge]

Guys! I'll buy with my eyes closed if it's 42k. Why do we need to bother abt Warranty? If something goes wrong, we can pay and then get it serviced.


@ aryayush,
They ask for serial number and it should be registered. No bill is required. I think that's what iMav meant.

 

[aryayush]

He's asking whether they will support it or not, even though he's the one who always keeps advocating that Apple has no problem support grey market products.

@Preshit,
Seriously, dude, ask him whether he has many in stock. We are in line here:
1. Yourself;
2. goobimama;
3. dinesh72 (I think); and
4. Yours truly.

 

[narangz]

What if they are stolen ones?

 

[aryayush]

Well, I'm not buying any that aren't boxed in the original packaging.


... Who am I kidding! I don't buy grey market products and no amount of good deals can change that practice.

Cool, right? Right?

 

[goobimama]

Neat icons man! I love the one for TV shows... Maybe I could have that somehow?

@Whoever: Dudes. If you don't get warranty, I hope you know that Apple isn't cheap for repairs. The replacement of the screen itself might cost you 40k. Just the LCD panel.

@aayush: Seriously? No grey market?

 

[dinesh72]

grey market hardware NO NO software YES(!! can't help !!)

ayush
could we do such partitions in macintosh hd as well, different partitions away from os installation.

 

[goobimama]

Yes. Open Disk Utility and hit Partitions and you will know from thereon. You can't however make partitions of the startup disk, the one that you are currently logged into (common sense). You have to boot into the Leopard Install DVD to partition your startup disk. Also, I think with leopard it's possible to make partitions of your startup disk without erasing your drive. Not sure how it's done though (Kinda like how bootcamp does it)

 

[aryayush]

Yes, it is possible. Just quit all applications and partition it using Disk Utility. Don't touch anything until it is complete, and make sure your notebook is not set to go to sleep or anything after a period of time.

As long as it is uninterrupted, it works. It did for me.

I'll email it to you or something... once I find it again.

@aayush: Seriously? No grey market?

Yup, not at all. Not even for a toothpick.

 

[jamesbond007]

@dinesh72

I've partitioned my HD and trust me there ain't any good reason for doing this!! And boy don't ask how much time it takes to create one!!!
I wanna get rid of that partition and merge it into my main partition but I have no clue !!

 

[ring_wraith]

Yup, not at all. Not even for a toothpick.

wow.

I'm up for an MBP at 42k too. [Not kidding]

 

[goobimama]

Airport express had a USB port? I wonder if one can plug a HDD in there!

As soon as I get my broadband, i'm getting one of these

 

[aryayush]

Airport express had a USB port? I wonder if one can plug a HDD in there!

Yep, one sure can.

 

[goobimama]

Nope. USB works only for Printing. No hard drive support...
