Known for their sleek, slim, lightweight, and enticing design complementing the beautifully optimized macOS, Apple’s MacBook lineup of laptops is judged in an entirely different set of metrics compared to the regular Windows laptops. Here, we’ll be looking at the latest price of Apple MacBook (Air, Pro) laptops in Nepal.
There’s a reason why they’re so popular, especially in the western markets. A great design, superb display, awesome trackpad, insane battery life; I mean, what’s not to like? And then there’s the widely accepted notion of how Apple’s products are less vulnerable to exploits than their Android/Windows counterparts!
Ticking all those boxes for a great machine, Apple’s MacBooks obviously don’t come cheap. And that’s especially hurting for Nepalese buyers since the price between the international & our domestic market is very contrasting. Keeping that aside, it is good news that there are many distributors & resellers bringing MacBook Air, MacBook Pro, and other Apple products in Nepal for a daring price.
Options are always great, but can also make things confusing to many. So in this article, we’ve compiled the list of all the models of the Apple MacBook Air and MacBook Pro available in Nepal, along with their price.

Apple MacBook Pro 13 (Early 2020)
It is the last 13-inch MacBook Pro to not have an Apple silicon. So, considering the leap Apple managed to achieve with M1, this one’s not worth it in 2021. Anyway, this 13-inch MacBook Pro got rid of the hugely unpopular butterfly keyboards and replaced them with Magic keyboards instead.
Other than that, it improved in terms of storage too. The base model came with 256GB SSD, up from 128GB of the past models, and goes up to 4TB.

Apple MacBook Pro 13 (M1)
Moving on, the M1-powered MacBook Air features the M1 chip and a 13.3-inch Retina display with True Tone technology. It is very similar to its Air sibling. The biggest difference here is the Pro’s active cooling system against the fanless design on the Air.
The 13″ inch model doesn’t miss out on the Magic Keyboard and Touch Bar either. It is fueled by a 58.2Whr LiPo battery.

Apple MacBook Pro 2019: 16-inches
This was the most top-end hardware ever put together in a MacBook—before Apple came with its in-house silicon. And as expected, the 16″ MacBook Pro received praise all around. Initially, you could choose between a hexa-core 9th gen Intel Core i7 or octa-core 9th gen Core i9 processor. In terms of GPU, the options include either the AMD Radeon Pro 5300M or 5500M, both with 4GB GDDR6 VRAM.
But Apple added a top-end model with Raden Pro 5600M in 2020. Expect everything to get done way faster, from video editing, multitasking, to other heavy-load tasks – not pushing through AAA titles though.
Then again, we’ll highly suggest you skip Intel variants of any MacBook in 2021. Storage-wise, the i9 variant has 1TB of SSD storage. The 16″ MacBook Pro also has a massive 100 watt-hour battery.
MacBook Pro 16 (2019) Price in Nepal:

Apple MacBook Pro 2021: 16-inch
The 16″ Apple MacBook Pro 2021 is not much different than its 14″ counterpart. It sports a 16.2-inch Liquid Retina XDR display with a resolution of 3456 x 2244. The rest of the display specs are identical including mini-LED backlights and 120Hz ProMotion.
Of the three variants that are available in Nepal, only one features the higher-end M1 Max chip. The other two settle on the M1 Pro. It has all the ports and wireless connectivity options of its smaller sibling but brings a bigger battery and faster charging speed.

Conclusion
Yes, the price of the Apple MacBook Air & MacBook Pro in Nepal definitely doesn’t compare to the market overseas. Gotta work with what we’ve got, eh? Keeping that in mind, you might be tempted to buy one for yourself from abroad or the grey market, but I’d suggest against it. Only buying through official channels guarantees a genuine product, after-sales services, and other amenities. Plus, with that, you’ll also be supporting local businesses; it’s a win-win!
