Agreed... we do pay more but even though, in Australia, we are high up on the world's early adopters for technology, we still don't quite have the large amount of consumer intake of Mac based hardware that other countries does, hence the inflated price – however, it is not that inflated and has come down over the years.

@tumnasgt

Yes..... pity the NZ guys as my brother in law lives there and always gets the short end of the stick with mac stuff et al ie iPhone.

@ AliBaba,

I would suggest you check the facts as I don't think the govt. here says .... oooh.... let's put up the price of a MacBook Pro so that we can give someone a first home owners grant... different money... different outcome – it really has to do with the global price of the dollar and consumption of product and hence, how everyone gets their mac products.]]>Aug 24th 2009 7:45AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/24/apple-stores-down-globally-snow-leopard-possible/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/24/apple-stores-down-globally-snow-leopard-possible/Aug 24th 2009 7:47AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/24/apple-stores-down-globally-snow-leopard-possible/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/24/apple-stores-down-globally-snow-leopard-possible/Aug 24th 2009 8:02AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/24/apple-stores-down-globally-snow-leopard-possible/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/24/apple-stores-down-globally-snow-leopard-possible/Aug 24th 2009 8:07AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/24/apple-stores-down-globally-snow-leopard-possible/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/24/apple-stores-down-globally-snow-leopard-possible/Aug 24th 2009 8:07AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/24/apple-stores-down-globally-snow-leopard-possible/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/24/apple-stores-down-globally-snow-leopard-possible/
In terms of the mac computers, I dunno why they're more expensive here - it's basically the same thing! My iMac was shipped directly from China - and China to down under would be closer than to the US... :P so I don't think it's the shipping charge that makes the computers more expensive.

anyway... I hope they'll ship it out by 28 August. I haven't ordered many stuff off the apple store so I'm not sure if they'll "ship it" on the 28th or I will "receive it" on that day. :P But anyway in the mean time I've got time to see this windows 7 thing I just installed...

@AliBaba:
Tax/GST in Australia is 10%. I think tax in the US is way more than that even if that depends on where you live.]]>Aug 24th 2009 8:13AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/24/apple-stores-down-globally-snow-leopard-possible/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/24/apple-stores-down-globally-snow-leopard-possible/Aug 24th 2009 6:55AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/24/apple-stores-down-globally-snow-leopard-possible/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/24/apple-stores-down-globally-snow-leopard-possible/Aug 24th 2009 7:39AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/24/apple-stores-down-globally-snow-leopard-possible/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/24/apple-stores-down-globally-snow-leopard-possible/Aug 24th 2009 7:06AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/24/apple-stores-down-globally-snow-leopard-possible/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/24/apple-stores-down-globally-snow-leopard-possible/Aug 24th 2009 7:41AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/24/apple-stores-down-globally-snow-leopard-possible/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/24/apple-stores-down-globally-snow-leopard-possible/Aug 24th 2009 6:50PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/24/apple-stores-down-globally-snow-leopard-possible/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/24/apple-stores-down-globally-snow-leopard-possible/Aug 24th 2009 7:08AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/24/apple-stores-down-globally-snow-leopard-possible/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/24/apple-stores-down-globally-snow-leopard-possible/Aug 24th 2009 7:11AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/24/apple-stores-down-globally-snow-leopard-possible/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/24/apple-stores-down-globally-snow-leopard-possible/Aug 24th 2009 7:44AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/24/apple-stores-down-globally-snow-leopard-possible/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/24/apple-stores-down-globally-snow-leopard-possible/Aug 24th 2009 8:08AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/24/apple-stores-down-globally-snow-leopard-possible/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/24/apple-stores-down-globally-snow-leopard-possible/Aug 24th 2009 7:10AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/24/apple-stores-down-globally-snow-leopard-possible/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/24/apple-stores-down-globally-snow-leopard-possible/
