Getting macbook from the US

Hi everyone, my friends are going to the US and I wanted to buy MacBook there and then they will bring it back to India. I had read that it cheaper that way, but I am not sure by how much? I think it is cheaper than the student pricing here. Should they just buy it in an Apple Store? And any other thing that I should aware about the purchase? Thanks!

When you buy ensure that he does not carry the box with him. They should unbox it in the USA and bring the device to you straightaway.

Coming from abroad: How many items can you bring?

Me and one of my friends are travelling abroad from India for the next 3 months. A lot of people in our circle are requesting macbooks. iphones and DSLRs to be bought from there since it’s usually cheaper there. I have been reading a lot of customs rules, and they seem to be highly strict for these, but nothing explicitly is mentioned about unboxed items. I wanted to know about these cases from people who have experienced it before. If I unbox and use the items, will they be allowed without duty, and will I even need to declare them?
