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...............

It's been more than a year. Best laptop within budget. Just upgrade RAM to 8GB and the machine will rock. I'm using this laptop for Python/Django development. Battery backup is more than 7 hours, no heating problem, sometime, I use this for 2 days continuously. Suggestion for a developer: Don't upgrade your OS until and unless you know how to setup environment variable, lot of development environments will break because of an upgrade. Factory installed OS is more than enough for you. Sunil

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.

*Fast delivery - got it within 4 days *Best pricing - got it for 48k *Latest product - manufacture date 2016 *OS - OS X El Capitan *Excellent design *Battery backup - more than 6hrs *Superb trackpad **little laggy while opening apps for first time (4gb ram, no ssd) **little heavier(more than 2kg) IF YOUR BUDGET IS BELOW 55K ,THEN THIS IS THE BEST OPTION. GO FOR IT

The product is good but issues with the seller. I don't get warranty coverage for this product because seller registered my laptop with apple 6 months before purchase so don't get the warranty. I raised the issue with Amazon service center but still no use. They ask me 5-6 documents from Apple service center after every follow-up so in last I gave up because I tried to going apple service center for about 8-9 times and calling Amazon service center.About Product:Product is good.You can make this system super fast. I have added 16GB ram and 500GB SSD drive so my system works like a champ.

Superb deals at Amazon-54.9 K at 30% from an Amazon fullfilled vendor to 56.4 at 28% off from TigerRetail Amazon fullfilled again, the one I bought. You can get 8gb ram sticks at 3k each and blaze at 16 Gb warranty is ur guess. And to think I was paying 64 k earlier for a Hp ab214 . Apple is the way to go. New lot:Dec 2015 unit received.
