- yoz-y 10y agoYes, but when you go through the checkout process and estimate the tax, then the 15" MacBook Pro still costs only $3050 compared to 3200€ ($3400). It is still quite more expensive in EU, even including the taxes.
- TheCoelacanth 10y agoEU tax rates are much higher, though. Going the opposite way, in France the price is $2911 before taxes, or only 4% higher than the US price. I would guess that the small remaining difference is due to the recent strong performance of the dollar.
- vetinari 10y agoThe EU tax rates are not that high, though, as is the difference in prices. There was such a difference even in years, when EUR performed way better than USD.
