It’s pretty good. I’ve bought an iPad on student discount previously. And recently got an Apple Watch too. It’s pretty seamless, and they ship via BlueDart so it’s sorted and will meet the delivery deadline.

Do they verify any id before delivering? And what if anything is broken / damaged during delivery?

Hi everyone,

I know this is a bit off-topic, but I’m considering buying an iPad, and I noticed the Apple Online Store is offering some great discounts (education/back-to-school). Has anyone purchased directly from their online store? If so, could you share your experience? Is it a safe and reliable option?

Thanks in advance!

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!

I want to buy a customised Macbook with extra RAM. Should I get it delivered or pick it up from the official Apple Store? Is delivery safe?

Hey folks, 
I am thinking of buying Ipad 10th Gen, wi-fi, 256 Gb configuration.
Primarily I was thinking of using the same to study and do research around new technology for eg to read new research papers and all.

Those who are using it, is it enough useful, what are your thoughts?

This might just be style quotient and spending around 65k might not worth it, so confused here!

Any suggestions?

Thinking of buying Ipad!

Cost is around Rs 1,50,000
I am looking to buy apple Mac for cross platform development and other development stuff.

Is it worth buying this mac

Hello everyone
I am planning to buy a MacBook for my personal use budget is ~1L. 
I have a few options:
1: Macbook pro 2019 i7 16/512 ~ 45-50k (refurbished)
2: Macbook air M1 16/255 ~1.2L (over budget)

Will the 2019 i7 macbook pros survive for the next 3-4 years? Or should I increase my budget and go for m1/m2?

I am considering buying a macbook air, feel like spending 1.3 lakh for new m2 air is too much. What do you guys suggest, should you buy second hand?
I've heard companies also sell laptops at cheaper rates, where can I get one?

If you think 2nd hand is a bad idea pls tell your experience in the comments. I can buy new as well

Is it okay to MacBook Air M2 from flipkart at 95K. Will I get genuine product, I want it from coding purpose.

Senior software engineer

It is available for 65k (8gb/256gb) on Amazon after cash back and there will be further discounts in the coming sale. Is it a good buy in 2023? My usage is mostly browsing, emails, and excel work. My office has PCs and we don’t work remote so I don’t really need it for WFH. Or should I shell out 40k extra and buy MBA M2. Already have iPhone, watch and AirPods. If I want to go for 16gb / 512gb then the difference would be 40k again!

Where to buy refurbished MacBooks in Bangalore?

Hi All,

Looking to buy a laptop to dive deep into full stack development - java, spring, queue,  cache, db etc, along with light react js. 
Will set up distributed components in local and/ or free tier AWS as well.
Also, consume Netflix content over weekends.

Considering laptops with 16gb ram, 512 SSD -
1. Mac mini 1.3 lacs or
2. Dell/HP/MSI with Linux- 1 -1.2 lac or
3. Mac Book Pro M2 - 2 lacs/2.5 lacs

With office mac Book Pro, the experience has been super smooth, but I am looking to get the most value on investment , and do not want to compromise on dev productivity.

Any suggestions folks? Those who have done similar work and have had a smooth experience, please share your experience.

Thanks.

Never buy an iPad, Airpods or Apple watch in india. These products do not have any service in India. Only replacement is offered. One of my friends had an iPad (bought for 55k). It had type-c charging. But the charging pin got damaged. The only solution they offered was replacement which cost around 44k (since the iPad was not in warranty). We asked them to fix it but they mentioned that they do not offer repair services on iPad, AirPod and Apple watch. My friend even sent the iPad for pickup service. It was taken to Bangalore and they said the same thing.

The guy is still crying in the corner😐

Did anyone else face the same issue?

Do not buy iPad, Airpods or Apple watch
