Ask him to visit the "Mall of America". iPads - best to get from Apple store.

^ Nice... good luck with it. Did you get apple care with it? you'll get a discount of 25% on the apple care me thinks if both are purchased on the same receipt.

You will save about 10-15 k right?

This is the latest... check if they give the edu discount. The Apple Store (India) - Macbook Pro

^ Thank you for the reply. Like I said, I'm not stuck with Dell alone, HP, Asus and Lenovo should also be fine. :)

Guys, Here are the requirements. He'll be using it to browse the net, probably stream some HD videos, watch movies and occasionally program on it and do some reports on Excel and docs. He doesn't play games and he is planning on using it for atleast 5 years. Budget : Rs 30,000 - 40,000 i5...

It was in USA. I agree with Anish, the latest MBPs have a decent upgrade. But haven't they arrived in India yet? They need to shipped from China, thought it would have happened already.

As a student, I got a 25% discount on apple care and $100 off on the MBP. Which model are you looking at Nikhil?

Usually the ETF is something like $200 with most of the service providers.

You'll be more than happy with those free apps. I'm using mine for nearly 10 months now... it's stunning and helps me a lot.

^ Thank you for your reply. :P Cool down stalker. It is better than creating a new thread and asking the same info. :ohyeah:

Superczar, Did you check out the Airport Extreme? The online reviews are too good. The router WRT my bro has currently is giving a lot of problems, so he was looking to buy this. I thought I'd gift it to him sometime.

Oh.. in that case, please ask someone on macrumors about your needs. Those guys play a lot of games on mac. There isn't much regarding the spec.. and I'm pretty sure, the improvement in proc is very minimal for your liking. Go for the i5 then...
