I am yet to even see a MacBook Air so cant really talk on that product....

how ever I have seen and use (though for few days only) Mac Book Pro 15"

I don't have a problem with Apple's products being expensive. Like I said, I'm ready to pay a premium for quality. The problem creeps in when they start charging 90K for sub-notebooks, which is too darned expensive even for the high end consumers.

so just on point to make... I wrote this,

Personal Use

The notebook range

Hardware config is top end... now doubt about it... but once again its the price which is a factor

I my self is not a high end buyer... and whom i interract with via forums, my blog and locally, I see 55% buyers are not high end either

so there comes our 45 % in which see midrage buys and top end customers... will not going to comment for TOP end customers as in total the % is lower than 5% for whom money doesnt matter

the mid range comes with a idea for a notbook at Rs. 45 to 55k range

So in that, we get a Dell 1520... for apple what comes close to Dell 1520 or dell 1525 or HP DV6516tx is Apple Mac Book Pro 15" which is Rs. Rs. 105000/- (incl all tax) as of last month

"Better stuff comes with higher price"... statement is availd but upto some extend...

Lets build the same config from HP or Dell, which makes up to Rs. 65000/- (incl all tax)

So now the inner hardware is same same product from nvidia or intel or any such,

differnce ??

The Software
The Design
The Screen <<<< May be I am not sure whether actually the screen is better or the software (the OS X) makes it look better

Differnce in price ??

a Cooool Rs. 40k .... upto 10k for me would be justified even may be 15k too, but 40k is really too much

so that 105000 product needs to be at around Rs. 75k to 80k mark that too max...

There is a 40k straight differnce in same model (inner hardware) of Dell / HP and Apple

Physical differnce,

The Software
The Design
The Screen <<<< May be I am not sure whether actually the screen is better or the software (the OS X) makes it look better

so personal thought, really i would say, yes design is stylish, software may be better, Screen looks better than Dell / HP (that too i doubt because of the OS X better calibration), that makes me think to pay 10k or may be max at 15k extra but certainly not 40k
