Macbook Retina price war
So today I see that the top spec Macbook Retina in the US is $2448.99 http://www.macmall.com/p/product~dpno~9824736~pdp.ieeaebb But here in the UK it works out at $3600!  Sad face. |

Re: Macbook Retina price war
Part of the reason is that they have to add VAT onto the price, which accounts for 20% of it. The other part is that they like to screw us for all they can - but it's still much less than if we were living in Australia. Since you're based in the UK, though, something I've always suspected, does that mean you'll be coming along to the HotChiPs Christmas Party? |
