The U.S  price starts at $2,199, which is almost equal to Rs. 1,22,732. The Indian price is very high. It also broke my dream because I was collecting money to buy MacBook Pro from last 6 years, but now, you know.The reason that Apple is pricing these notebooks in India such could be due to the decline in the Rupee, in comparison to the Dollar and this may be the main reason why it costs more than a lakh and a half.
