I don't see the point in buying this product. Apple are beginning to rip UK consumers off and should be investigated for price fixing and unfair charging by the trading standards and/or the EU.
They expect us to pay £1200 for a MacBook Air, only marginally less than a MacBook Pro, yet they sell it for $1800 in the USA? £1200 does not equal $1800. £1200 is nearly $2400!
The MacBook Air, and all related products are exactly that - nothing but hot air. Avoid like the plague if you value your finances.
True, but the UK price includes tax so it's not as big a difference. For example to buy one here in the Province of Ontario, Canada, I'd pay $1900 CAD, plus 13% tax = 2147, which works out to 1085.34 British Pounds. Still not 1200, but not so far off...Just remember, we may pay more tax in the UK and Canada, but we get more for it (i.e. medical care).

No one's forcing the people of England to buy Apple products, do your own research and stop complaining you damn Brits.

Is that with or without VAT?
You don't have to buy it. Its called consumer choice.
It's called tax.
