Apple has introduced the next generation MacBook Pro with Retina Display in India. These notebooks were earlier launched in U.S. after their date of announcement and now Apple has brought these devices in Indian market. However, the price of these device is a bit higher from the U.S. price which has sure brought disappointment to Indians users. The hike in the price for the Indian market by Apple could be a reason of the country’s low economy and the fall in Rupee.
Apple has introduced the MacBook Retina Display in India with its base version starting at Rs. 1,52,900. However, price of the base version in U.S. starts at Rs. 1,22,732. This makes the pricing of the notebook Rs. 30,000 more for the Indian users. MacBook Pro Retina has been amongst the awaited devices in India and now when it has been finally launched here, it would be interesting to know, how will the Indian market respond to the product.
Here is a look at some of the specifications of the notebook:
