  • macbook air 11 and 13inch model 2nd paragraph ” flash storage is up to 512Mb” it should be in Gb !

  • Not so impressive

    their should be a detailed comparison about the previous one and new ones

  • Apple Macbook is one of those cars, which you see online frequently :P but, you don’t have what it takes to buy them…
    :D
    balkay nahi, i have used one at Dolmen Mall :P
    *window shopping like a boss*

  • MacBook Pro with Retina Display is a joke in IMO! Yes the display is awesome but u dont get the SuperDrive, lame!! :-/

      • still its a feature man. Even I dont use my DVD drive, but kabhi to zarurat par hi jati hai.

    • I have got bluray drive in my laptop and I used it two or three times in last 1.5 years. I realy dont know why they are offering drives. maybe usefull for movies but for me its not understandable to have expensive drives in machines for just watching movies.

    • I am using macbook pro since 2 years and I haven’t used my dvd drive once.

    • For us developers it’s a dream machine. It never stucks hang or restart like windows machines do some times.

      Extra long battery backup time, in short perfect combination of hardware + software.

      And yes it is expensive.
