Jazzhead Posted July 11, 2015 Share Posted July 11, 2015 ....are SOOOO much cheaper here thank in the UK. Example: iMac UK price - £1099 AUS price - £785* (21.5 inch 2.7GHz quad core 1TB model). *This price is including claiming GST back at airport upon leaving Aus. Very tempted to take one home with me when my holiday ends on Monday!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
srh82 Posted July 11, 2015 Share Posted July 11, 2015 exchange rate will be helping! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jazzhead Posted July 11, 2015 Author Share Posted July 11, 2015 exchange rate will be helping! Absolutely. Just trying to convince myself that I actually need an iMac now! Got a MacBook and iPad so probably not. Seems too good to pass up though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VERYSTORMY Posted July 11, 2015 Share Posted July 11, 2015 It is on the UK ebay for 539 pounds including free delivery Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joeperth Posted July 11, 2015 Share Posted July 11, 2015 Prices are definitely much better here. Especially as they give a lot of companies here an employee discount. And then you can claim on your tax return. Almost giving them away... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Atlas Posted July 11, 2015 Share Posted July 11, 2015 Haha looks like I will hold out on buying a MacBook until I get there then Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jazzhead Posted July 11, 2015 Author Share Posted July 11, 2015 Haha looks like I will hold out on buying a MacBook until I get there then At current exchange rate, entry model would set you back £785 if you bought it and claimed GST back upon leaving Australia. £864 without claiming GST.

andyishy Posted July 11, 2015 Share Posted July 11, 2015 Apple Prices have actually jumped up in Oz since Feb - a MacBook Air has gone up buy AUD200. I assume that this is following the AUD/USD movements, still cheaper than the UK, but at one time, much cheaper!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jazzhead Posted July 11, 2015 Author Share Posted July 11, 2015 Decided against buying an iMac. I've come to the realisation that it doesn't matter how many Apple products I own, they will never compensate for how bereft of love my childhood was so I may as well save the money.
