hi there,
i live in the uk and am torn between the mac mini and imac. I need a monitor, keyboard and mouse so the is part of the attraction for the imac (along with the better specs). In the uk the price is £899. Over in the U.S. it is $1299. This means the the U.S. price is about £750, which is 150 quid less than the UK!
Has anyone ever had any success with ordering from the US Apple Store in order to get things cheaper? Is there any difference in 'what's in the box'?
Also, I realise shipping would be alot. But it wouldn't wipe out the 150 quid saving completely would it?
To sum up this post, I don't need the nice specs on the imac, and a mac mini with added monitor etc. wouldn't come anywhere near to 899. However, if the imac was 750 (as it is on the US store) then i think i could just about justify getting such a sweet machine:)
Thanks,
Martin
