homer_j said:Was that inclusive of tax? When I looked and found that some stores didn't include tax due to the different tax systems in different states.. If you are buying new from a reseller then there shouldn't be that much difference in the prices..
GoldenDelicious said:I dont know what it is with apple and their prices, why in the uk do we have to pay more for apple products than people in the usa for the same product?
Redbull said:Blame Gordon Brown. I've bought many products from USA (imported) and saved at least £850 in the last 14 months.
But it is a risk if you buy aboard.
GoldenDelicious said:When you imported from the US did you have to pay any more duty? i havent tried importing yet. i am going to the US on holiday so i thought i might as make use of the cheap prices...
GoldenDelicious said:Yea that includes state of California Tax which is 8.5% Total Price $1850
and it is the latest powerbook with the new brighter screen etc..i will be going there to pick it up rather than have it delivered so that will save a little too.

Delaware=NO SALES TAX!
I live in Harrisburg PA, but drove right past the King of Prussia Mac store to buy in Delawae to save soo $$$.
Smartz said:I find this amount of fuss over the name to be a joke in itself. To be honest I never call my Imac an Imac I usually just say My Mac. When I refer to a Powerbook in the office and am around non-techy people I say the Mac laptop.
Perhaps its me and i like a "does what it says on the tin" approach but MacBook Pro is alright to me, surely the hardware speaks for itself, plus i find it so cring-worthy when i hear computers with names like sexual lubricant for example Dell's Xps sounds like something you'd catch off a hooker or Vaio from Sony, which my dad said sounded like washing up powder.
Whats in a name?????
Powerbook or not there may have been other reasons for the name change.......we can but wonder!
