Apple has changed the prices on the Indian online catalogue and they now reflect the actual street prices once you add the 4% tax, so I guess you can rely on *www.apple.co.in/ for the prices now (I asked them because I wanted to check how reliable the prices on the Indian online catalogue were).

No, the MacBook prices are still the same on the store. The MacBooks and the MacBook Pros are all with * that say * Taxes and other levies extra

Click on ‘Compare’ on the right hand side towards the bottom of the page and notice that “Option: 3.06GHz Intel Core 2 Duo” is written in the 24-inch column. You also have the option of “Up to 4GB” memory, “Up to 1TB” hard drive and “NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GS with 512MB of GDDR3 memory” graphics.
I don’t want to spoil your party. I just want to ensure that I have those options when I buy the iMac for myself.
I have three complaints with the iMac though:
1. The display’s resolution is pretty low for real estate amounting to 24-inches. The MacBook Pro’s 17-inch screen can do 1920x1200;
2. The display isn’t LED-backlit; and
3. There’s no built-in battery that can provide even half an hour of backup in case of a power outage, so you need to have a UPS installed (which will be an eyesore if you’re going for a minimalist, wireless setup like I am).

Can you guys recommend good, wireless, surround sound speakers to pair with an iMac, and great wireless headphones?

^^^I wouldn't suggest wireless headphones!! You get serious distortion if you are anywhere near to a Radio, Owen, Cordless phone and other such common stuff....
Ayush:
pretty weird! the Mac cost me 91200!! howcome Delhi gets 3000 rs less?? Dollarwise, the 24" imac price is around 72-73ks!! we r in variably charged 19000 more thats bullshit.
The 2.6 20" was 75 smthing n the first one was arnd 60 smthing. heres the interesting part over which i got SO pissed...
I wantd the 3ghz nvidia model. So first i approached the desk people who show the mac at d store. Immediately, that fellow was like, we have just put up the new configs for display n the 3ghz C-T-O model is NOT available for India. i sed wtf..whos d boss here?
Met mr Jagdish the head for d moment, n he gave me d quote.. 1.6(incl VAT) for the 3ghz wid d card n will take 4 weeks for delivery! what crappp.. Plus the dollar price for this one comes about at 83 smthing. I really dont understand, we r being truly overcharged for it. Plus, as far as i know, the nvidia IS an option available for the 2.8 ghz model, but these fellas were like no sir, we ll giv it only on the 3ghz one. Bull ****. So ultimately had no option but to settle for the 2.8. Still the better. I was initially considering gettin it from the states, but then does the warranty apply internationally??? If yes, will ask someoone to get it from der only. cmon..3ghz for that price is still drooool maal.
The 3ghz is just an overclocked Penryn chip..M damn happy with the 2.8( hardly a BIG difference there). As far as nvidia goes, m sure Apple will incorporate them in d future.
maybe even LED displays r on d way!
regd the headphones...dont try the wireless ones..u do get distortion. Y not invest in a good brand of em..try Bose out. They r really good n for that price its a steal.

It's because you bought it from the Imagine store. The stores are around 2K on the higher side than other dealers.
THey quoted me 35K for the Mac Mini. I bought mine for 32K

1. Any and all 24 inchers do 1920*1200. There won't be a 2560*1536 24 incher for a long time to come
2.
3. But of course this is a limitation of desktops. Anyway, if one has an inverter (like I do) one can use the thing for the full day without worrying about power problems...
As for those offers of iPods free with MacBooks, they are from the Goa Apple store. If anyone is buying a MacBook, would be nice to get one of those iPods free as well...

It’s Aayush.
Yes, it does, but how will someone bring you an iMac, and the 24-inch one at that, from the U.S.A.? It’s huge, man.
If there is a way, do let me know. My relatives are in the U.S.A. right now and they’ll be returning in a fortnight. I’d love it if there was a way for them to bring it for me from there.
As for the wireless headphones, aren’t there any that work over Wi-Fi?

Mac hits record 7.8% market share in Net Applications survey
Apple’s (AAPL) share of the operating system market grew 5.69% in May to hit a record 7.80%, while Windows in all its flavors dropped half a point to 91.17%. That’s a record low for Microsoft (MSFT), which nonetheless still runs on 9 out of 10 computers on the Internet, as Net Applications measures it (more on its methodology below).
