Tech Ticker

Not that we were surprised by the prices but it will be sad for people who were looking to snag the most affordable Mac at a decent price tag. The new Mac Mini price starts from Rs. 36,600, which at that price could get you a powerful souped up desktop (with a monitor). The 20-inch 2.66GHz iMac will go for Rs. 70,200 while 24-inch (2.66GHz/2.93GHz/3.06GHz) iMacs will sell for Rs. 87,000/1,04,900/1,25,900 respectively.

Mac Pro also got the same Xeon processor upgrade. The quad-core Mac Pro will retail for Rs. 1,42,700 and 8-core Pro for 1,88,900.

Ok, we know comparing Indian prices with the US ones is not right, but charging almost $200 premium (in some cases, more than that) dampens our Mac spirit.
