Yeah it sucks, buying Apple products in NZ puts you in the same situation. 11 inch MacBook Air (64GB) = US$999 (which should convert to NZ$1,169.46 using the current exchange rate). In NZ we've got a 15% GST (sales) tax, but that should only bring the price up to about NZ$1,345. Instead the entry level MacBook Air costs us NZ$1,549.00. So that's a NZ$204 mark up for what??? Wish we could just buy them directly off the US Apple website!
