• An Apple that suits the taste within reach..

  I've Bought this one recently, not from India but from Japan... The pricing that flipkart offers is quite cheap as its original price is around 90k. Well to tell about the product, it is a 2012 non retina model which has a 8x superdrive and an ethernet port which are terribly useful for anyone. While the new models which have Retina display neglects these ones and are also priced heavy, so you have to get them externally with additional money which is bad. Well what is the use of laptops which are premium but don't have necessary hardware? Everyone is so obsessed with retina display becoz of the bright and striking screen, good processing speed as they are based on flash storage, but take a beating on basic features like dvd drive and ethernet ports and battery life.... Its better to go with this model rather than choosing retinas, if money is ur concern, but for all the others who are easy on your pocket u may proceed with retinas and of course buying additional external accessories from apple. PROS: * Sturdy and beautiful * Good steady battery life( when i used it came upto more or less 6 hours of continous usage like watching videos and just browsing) * Trackpad is amazing. * Nice screen (though its a non retina model, its good) * Good quality camera. Great for video chats. * Virus free OS ( no need to worry about virus threats). * It is upgradable( RAM, Hard disk etc can be upgraded while the retinas are not). * Stereo speakers are good, with a slight amount of bass hanging around songs which cannot be heard from other laptops. * The Headphone port supports earphone with mic.( i tried my sony earphones with mic which to my surprise worked and u can directly speak through the earphone's mic). CONS: * Processing speed is average as what you would expect from an i5 with 4 gb RAM. * Graphics are mediocre, only medium resolution games can be played because of the Intel HD 4000 graphics which has only 512 MB memory( seriously not for Gameboys). * The two USB 3.0 ports are placed one close to another, u can't use two devices at a time unless it is very small without the body. * Little bulky than retina models but less when compared to other brands. Other than these i have no concern with the MBP and i truly love it. Finally this one is not for professionals( like video editers etc) who look to extract maximum performance related to their work but a GOOD laptop for medium users and casual users( Students,etc)... BUT it packs lot of features for which i am satisfied.... They are proving it(Apple) and this piece is worth every bit of your money and u will surely admire it...............

  Looks features & Specification Brilliant at this pricing & more over you are getting "THE MACBOOK", anyway for me this laptop works out to be best. and the specifications mentioned on Flipkart hardly matters... google it and you get the exact configuration. This laptop is worth every penny you spend on it.

  you have mentioned the specification wrongly, please do change it, or some customer would file a suit against you, don't break your reputation yourself. but this product is a great one, i have been using it for more than 1 year, great to use and love it. mac book buyers, initially you would face some effort, because everyone is used with cramped windows, but soon you would start hating windows, and love this great product.

  Excellent machine, have been using previous versions of Macbook, lot of improvements in this one in terms of battery life (giving 6-7 hours as of now), speed and performance, handling and excellent keyboard. Good delivery by WS Retail and flipkart. Highly recommended.

• Good Product - great experience with flipkart
  Sarath@Chennai-March2014 (Mar 1, 2014) on Flipkart
  The build quality of this product is great. If you are new to apple, this would be a good place to start with. Especially if you are a developer who is mobile, I would highly recommend this product. If you are not mobile then you can try to get mini mac from a price stand point. For a developer this would be better than Air( which comes below this price range), but has limited ssd storage or the screen would be small for long term use. The air also does not come with optical drive or ethernet port. I look at Air more like a netbook at lower processing power than the MacBook Pro. Please remember to get a hard case for your MacBook Pro as soon as you order it, IMHO its better to have it from day one. Flipkart does not seem to sell a lot of hard cases, so you best bet would be amazon or snap deal. I have heard speck is a good brand but pricy. There are other brands one can try out. If you are buying for this model keep an eye on non-retina when you order a hard case. This notebook comes with a backlit keyboard, the brightness of the keyboard can be adjusted with hotkeys. It does not have a separate numeric keypad as many would know. It does not have a page down or up, instead the track pad recognises the gestures as you would do on a touch screen which is very natural and easy. One could also swipe pages left to right using the track pad. You have an option to upgrade to Mavericks, but it seems to ask for billing info before I could proceed.
