The Australian base Macbook price is AU$1749- RRP inc 10% GST or at today's exchange rate ~NZ$1994-  The Australian street price is between AU$1600-1700 inc GST (especially good deals if you get 2 Gig RAM at the same time) The price on the Renaissance web site (apple.co.nz) is NZ$2349- inc 12.5 % GST Apple Australia is part of Apple worldwide. Renaissance is the exclusive NZ distributor of Apple products. That's a NZ $350 difference!?! wtf?? oh, I see, it's just a bit less than the cost of a return airfare across the ditch.... hmmm.... (Apple Laptop warranties are honored worldwide, regardless of place of purchase)
