Personal Opinion follows, your millage may vary: Depends I heard (please correct me if I'm wrong) that Apple products in India are pricier and often a generation behind then I'd say no. I have one but I wouldn't buy a new one personally. The build quality is good but other companies are starting to equal it. (And somehow I managed to bend the case near the Ethernet port in the first week. I don't know what I did to do that, I'm sure I applied pressure there by accident but I never hold it from there) Software wise, I live in a shell be it on linux or on the Mac. I don't develop for iOS. I triple boot the machine and that works alright. I've ran into some issues with the laptop too. My battery after a year and a half is now dead and from the Apple site this is common. The mini display port is a pain and now that display port/hdmi is becoming standard it might be easier than carrying 3 dongles. You can also get better specs and hardware elsewhere for cheaper. In all if you don't want OSX look elsewhere if not, it's still a very good laptop just not far above the rest as it's claimed to be.
