For a laptop that is marketed heavily as the future of computing, the price and specs are both slightly confusing and undeniably high. It’s available in two base models, their differences as follows:
rs. 90000
256GB PCIe-based onboard flash storage
1.1GHz dual-core Intel Core m3 processor(Turbo Boost up to 2.2GHz) with 4MB L3 cache
Configurable to 1.3GHz dual-core Intel Core m7 processor(Turbo Boost up to 3.1GHz) with 4MB L3 cache
rs.120000
512GB PCIe-based onboard flash storage
1.2GHz dual-core Intel Core m5 processor(Turbo Boost up to 2.7GHz) with 4MB L3 cache
Configurable to 1.3GHz dual-core Intel Core m7 processor(Turbo Boost up to 3.1GHz) with 4MB L3 cache
Both models come with 8GB of 1866MHz LPDDR3 onboard memory as standard
Perhaps the price jars because of the way consumer technology has fallen over the past 20 years. You may remember the days of the first family PC costing well over RS. 90000, but you can now pick up a Windows laptop with higher specs than the MacBook for around half its price. Then again, this high price buys you an incredible feat of laptop engineering that weighs about as much as a tablet, yet(despite Apple’s iPad Pro marketing) can do a tad more.
The 2016 MacBook is available in Space Grey, Silver, Gold and, oh yes, Rose Gold. More on that never.
