You'd be set back by about 579 euro. In my country, the Mac Mini is 799 euro. So the difference is 220 euro. So if you wanted to visit the US, then it might be worth it.
The tricky part: figuring out how to do this legally. It's probably not possible where I live, but I'm sure some European countries are more relaxed with their import tax policies.
- dewey 6y agoSeems a lot easier to just pay the taxes than to fly around the world in a pandemic?
- mettamage 6y agoI think it depends. If you decide to stay there for a month in a remote area, then you're probably doing the world a favor by not being a vector.
- dewey 6y agoI'd argue that staying at home is doing the world a bigger favor, both in terms of air pollution and in terms of "being a vector". For most people it also doesn't make sense to sit around on a flight to save a couple of bucks, their time is usually more valuable than that.
