1420865 2016-05-29 20:54:00 I agree with Macs - laptop or desktop, being over priced in the NZ market in comparison to the US or Australian market. Unfortunately that's what happens when you live here. That is also why I picked up my 15" MacBook Pro in San Francisco back March for about $700 cheaper than I could have purchased it here. :)

The prices are reasonably comparable once you factor in GST

and the fact NZ retailers are forced to include an extended warranty to consumers with the consumer guarantees act.

Trust me, they are not that comparable even with GST factored in. I did an online conversion when I was in San Fran back in March so that I could show my wife what the price difference was just before I bought my new MBP. There has been a considerable price variation between Macs in the US and Macs in NZ for the last 15-20 years - (when you do a direct exchange rate comparison).
