Well, Yes. I finally took the plunge and bought myself a stunningly beautiful and shockingly powerful, yet amazingly awesome MacBook Pro.
For the past couple of months, I’ve been trying to convince my parents to let my buy myself a MacBook (Yes! A MacBook, not a Pro). Even though the purchase was going to be totally through my hard earned money, they were simply not convinced that I needed a MacBook, repeatedly telling me to use my Compaq laptop instead. Obviously, none of them was aware of the awesomeness of the Mac. I used to try popping up the thought of the purchase every now and then, but that usually ended with “Nahi, mhanje mahi” (No, means NO!)
However, almost as if the Gods up there heard my prayers, Apple India decided to decided to come out with a pleasantly surprising offer. According to the ‘Mac @ Campus’ offer, students from select institutions were entitled to a 12% discount on the MRPs of the MacBooks and MacBook Pros.
And that was the trigger. The events that occurred after this were almost like a Domino Effect. Everything just followed one after the other. And I found out that I had successfully convinced my parents to buy me a MacBook Pro (Yes! It’s the Pro this time). I was never going to buy the white MacBooks and had set my eyes on the Black MacBook. But with a difference of just 11K, it made sense to put in that extra effort and get the Pro machine instead.
