How does the macbook comes as packed? Does the box comes sealed? I have purchased some gadgets online. Some come with sealed boxes that ensures more security than else case.

Yes the box is sealed, but only with a clear sticker. The box is white and opens like a brief case almost; the macbook will be inbetween two pieces of styrofoam. I guess this what you are asking?

thanks, so that means they dont seal it with the polythene film, like they do for ipods.

This video shows a MacBook being opened. This should explain it all.

Also, if you have it delievered through the post, the laptop box itself is stuck in a generic, brown box and sealed.

Unless you buy refurbished, then it comes with huge "Apple Certified Refurbished" in big black bold letters to let the world know that you've bought an Apple.

One of my friend bought it from apple store. After payment the salesmen brought a brown box from the stalk and opened it in front of their eyes. My friend came home with the macbook box that has a holder on it.

So, that means the brown box is also a part of factory packing? and all books are dispatched in similar dual packing?

I received my package yesterday. The shipping box was already opened by the seller and the macbook pouch was in it, as if they used the shipping box itself to ship the pouch. The macbook white box inside was sealed by a transparent long-oval sticker.
