As rightly pointed out by Rishi, I am not a sw guy, pure engineering guy. I am a big fan of Apple since they launched iphone 2G, have 2G, 3GS, ipad & MacBook white.
Now I am eyeing at MacBook pro but just wanted to know, investing Rs. 120K makes sense or any other alternative. Sure there is no equivalent to Mac with it's own OS. Thank you guys for giving me more info to search further on my evaluation. Will investigate further on hackintosh and other alternatives until I feel I have no option and must buy MBP as there is no equivalent.
