Bought this MacBook Pro from another account in Flipkart.
Good service from flipkart. Instant delivery.
First thing wrong is, the information here on the product page says this macbook pro has a force touch but in the apple website, it doesn’t say so.
I’ve used it and this Macbook pro DOES NOT come with the force touch trackpad.
Second thing is, Flipkart did not mention any warranty details about this product in the product page when I bought it. I had to enquire about this with flipkart over email to finally take a decision.
Make sure you buy from WS Retail when you buy from flipkart so that you dont get any warranty issues. You can see that fllipkart is an authorised seller of Mac in the apple website.
About the product:
I got this model only because I needed the firewire, thunderbolt, optical drive and mainly the ethernet port. All this in exchange for the Retina Display?
I said no because my work is more on the audio side.
I felt I wasn’t losing much without the Retina display. Moreover, I can even connect my Mac to an external display if I need a bigger screen then the 13.3" display
Also, I’ve been a windows user all these years and this mac is best if you are switching from windows to mac.
Yes, this mac doesn’t come with an SSD but, I have the option to replace my optical drive and HDD with an SSD if the need arises. This cannot be done in the new Retina Macbooks.
I can also upgrade my Ram if necessary. One more thing you cant do with the new Retina Models.
You can go for this product if you,
Dont have any advantage of having a Retina screen.
Are on a tight budget.
Switching from Windows to Mac
Read all the reviews out there and decide if you really need a Retina display Mac. If you have decided that you dont need one, this Mac is your best buy for the buck.
I’m rating it 4 because flipkart confused about the warranty with this product.
