Even better, the two Thunderbolt edition of the MacBook Pro starts at just $1,299. As the most affordable MacBook Pro, this version ships with a base configuration including 8GB of RAM, a 256GB SSD, and the aforementioned Intel Core i5 chip.
You can get a Macbook Air 13.3″ for just 55k ( it’s the lowest price i ever seen in macbooks) which comes with 8 GB of RAM, 5th generation i5 intel processor, 128 GB hard disk, 1.6GHz clock speed.
As a 2 year macbook user, i strongly recommend to buy this laptop. For your confidence, i will share my experience with my macbook air. I bought it in my first year for 67k. It’s specs are like, 1.3GHz clock speed, 128GB hard disk (ofcourse not enough) , 4GB RAM and intel 5500 Graphics inbuilt etc., Everybody will say, for 65k you can buy a windows laptop which will give you 8GB RAM, 1TB hard disk, and so on shit.
But think it seriously , Why apple will give only 4GB for 67k. Are they mad? No, because they that Apple’s 4GB RAM can do miracles which Windows 8GB RAM cannot do.
And If you come to hard disk, yes i accept they give very less hard disk which is not sufficient for a movie lover or if you want to store large files. In my case i bought an WD external hard disk for 3k and i store my files in that. Apple don’t give large hard disk because they use HFS+ format for their hard disks and it is very expensive and very fast in transfers. A 1 GB file will only take 5–10 seconds to get transferred to a pen drive. Really fast than any windows laptop right ? So if you want a large quantity, why go to starbucks ? Make coffee in your house. Look for quality, not for quantity.
What i most like about Macbook is it’s battery capacity. I used to see 4 movies continuosly with a 100% charged Mac. And after seeing movies, 20% charge will be remained. You dont believe it. But it’s real.
And finally, i will give a brief about graphics. You wont get graphics in GB’s in apple Macbooks, but with the inbuilt graphics, you can play quite large games. I used to play COD 4 , Farcry 3, NFS Run multiplayers in my Macbook Air. These games were played without any lag in performance compared to any windows laptops. So you can play games very well.
Apple MacBook air 13 (2017 Model).
Actually this laptop has hardware that’s several years old but it’s so well made that normal person doesn’t even realize it.
The specs are well balanced and day-today performance is amazing, comparable to some windows laptop with newer hardware.
Online prices keep fluctuating a lot but I think avg pricing is 60 K to 75 K.
During the big billion sale days, I have seen the price to be under 60 K.
