Way too expansive.The more I see a mac the stronger the urge
to buy one.Been doing my reserach with price comparisons n yep!!! overseas seems to be the fairer deal.For me the last place i will part with my $$$ is the Apple Stores.I found a site(re-seller) here in Oz who has CLEARANCES SALE!!!! a saving of $90-$100 (unfortunately they ran out).One must really shop around and compare the diff prices around.
Good luck to all of you in your search for a better price.

most resellers can go a bit lower on the price but because the margin is quite low on apple products the online store are they way to go… they keep the prices low becouse thier overheads are low (only a webstore not a phisical store…. )

you can check out htttp://store.mactofront.com.au/ as an example…

I know someone already said this, but If you want a cheaper Mac, become an American.

Apple Australia is trying to tell me that the iMac I want will cost $A 2739 and the US site is telling me that it will cost $1919, implying that $A1 is equal to $US 0.70.

Given that the $A is currently buying about $US 0.9, you would expect that it should cost about $A2135, meaning that Apple Australia are trying to gouge an extra $600 or about 30 per cent from me.

Scott:
Not that big on virtualisation because I like my fancy graphics and animations, and plan to do some programming involving them. The osx86project does look interesting though, maybe as an interim solution.

Alright, back to the topic of this post :)

The refurbished site is constantly updated.. everytime they have refurbished item, they put it there.. and the price is not always the same.. So if you’re hunting for it, keep an eye until you found the right one, then don’t hestitate and buy straight away! It qualifies free shipping, free engraving (I assume), and 1 year limited warranty. So it’s not a bad deal, really.

Macbook is expensive indeed, the only chance I could have it was last night in an event.. my friend, who sat next to me, won a doorprize with a Macbook prize.. it could’ve been me!!! ’til now, I still wished it was me. T____T
