(Image credit: Anuj Bhatia/ Indian Express) Apple MacBook Pro 13-inch (M1, 2020) Price: Rs 122,900 onwards
The 13-inch MacBook Pro is designed for video editing and coding.
The MacBook Air’s battery will last more than a full workday, which you won’t get even on a high-end Windows notebook. The latter model with 512GB of storage has an extra graphics core in the M1 processor. It comes with a 13-inch 2560×1600 IPS screen, 8GB RAM, and either 256GB or 512GB of storage. It also includes Apple’s much-improved keyboard but omits a Touch Bar seen on the 13-inch MacBook Pro. The M1 version of the MacBook Air is fanless and does not require cooling.
However, don’t buy the Mac Pro right now as Apple is expected to update the system next year with a more powerful custom “Apple Silicon.”
While the iMac and Mac Mini are aimed at mainstream users, the Mac Pro is squarely pitched at professional users. You can choose between three desktop form factors: the iMac, the Mac mini, and Mac Pro. This is why it is recommended to review your options carefully to avoid “costly” mistakes.Īpple also sells desktops but it’s a little more confusing than buying MacBooks.
But if you are a professional user and want more powerful machines, the 14 and 16-inch MacBook Pro with M1 Pro and M1 Max chips are the best notebooks to buy. The MacBook Air and MacBook Pro with M1 are excellent notebooks for anyone. Ask yourself: whether you want a laptop or desktop? Investing in a MacBook makes a lot of sense as you can take it anywhere and work wherever you want. Whether you are buying a MacBook or Mac desktop, make sure you decide on a model based on your purpose and needs. That is something you might not want to risk.Before buying a Mac, first understand your needs Occasionally it does perform audits and if you can’t verify your enrollment, Apple reserves the right to charge your credit card for the difference between education and regular pricing on the items you purchased. Apple doesn’t appear to verify your education pricing qualifications at the time of purchase. You will need to check off a box confirming that you are a student, teacher, or parent during the purchase process to receive the education discount. While you aren’t required to provide evidence you’re a student, faculty member or parent buying for a student, Apple may request a valid student ID or other qualifying information when you make your purchase. Typically the sale is 10% off from each item’s retail pricing.Īpple also gives some sweet incentives to buying a new computer for school: not only is there 20% off the AppleCare+, but there are also 3 months free of its Arcade gaming, along with 3 months free of Apple Music and Apple TV+. The discounts on iMac, Macbook Air, Macbook Pro, and iPad products can be had via the official Apple Store for Education. The price may also vary due to timed offers and promotions, such as during the back-to-school months. You can browse Apple’s selection of discounted items for school at any time, but there are only certain times of the year where they give you freebies. There is also a 20% discount on AppleCare+. You can get free AirPods if you purchase an eligible Mac computer and meet Apple’s requirements. This year, there is a chance to score a free pair of AirPods or a deep discount on AirPods Pro.
Unfortunately, this does not include Apple Watch, iPhone, Apple TV and accessories. This includes Macbooks, iMacs, and even iPad. With this, Apple puts several of its popular items on sale throughout the entire year for those looking for back-to-school technology. On Apple’s official store page, its Education pricing is open to “all current and newly accepted college students and their parents, as well as faculty, staff, and homeschool teachers of all grade levels.”
