MacBook in India Too Expensive, Prices Are Out

Apple introduced the new MacBook and MacBook Pro. MacBook features a new design, new features and has integrated new technologies.

In the US, the MacBook price starts from $1299 and the MacBook Pro price from $1999. Indian prices starts from Rs 79,700 and Rs. 1,19,000 for MacBook and MacBook Pro respectively.

The prices out in India, at Keystone.in, an official Apple Authorized Center in Goa. The price is simply multiplication of USD to Rupee conversion rate, or even more than that! To market a good product in India, we expect a reduction of price to suit the environment. But it seems Apple is not ready yet to be widely used outside the US!
