I double checked. There is no "duty" or whatever it is. The price I gave is correct. In the case of the big new imac, you have to pay a £6 delivery charge. They won't have it in stock. But other things like macbooks and even air are there, and you can walk out with them.
You can, I think, buy on the way out, and collect on your way back (there's a collection point once you've left arrivals). The prices are NOT on the internet. You only get them by going there. I have seen consistently low prices in the year or so I've been goign through terminal 5.
