It's not really a Store, just a bunch of html pages. *Yian* : That page really serves no purpose. It’s not really a Store, just a bunch of html pages.

By the way, is this perhaps better: http://www.asia.apple.com/store/india/ I have no idea since I don't live in India, I just Googled it. :) Ahh…seems like there’s a big worm in Apple.

They assemble everything in China, and if they had a store, they could just send it over from China, which would, I think, be a fraction of the costs of shipping from the US. 3) Again, this is covered in #2. 4) Well, that was the only email addy I had in hand. *Chris* : They’re on their way!

Why? They would have to cover all the extra expenses, shipping, insurance, all the regulations the country requires to legally sell computer equipment. 4) You emailed the US Apple Store, it's pretty clear they don't sell to other countries, asking them to do that is just plain stupid on your part. Deal with your resellers, they are not making $600 profit on the MacBook, I bet they are making 100-200 tops. Do you know Apple Stores in the UK sell everything at a much higher price than in the US?. 1) They would never profit if they had a store in India.

Maybe you should form a commando team and raid the factory in China where the Macbook is made. Hot damn, sounds like Apple is giving you the cold shoulder.
