astroboy - I didn't know that you were a mac user as well but I knew that Ruth in Canada, formerly in China, was.

OP - cheapest place to get a MAC is off the internet in the US.

Thanks for the enlightenment.. very depressing :(

Hmm Ok then!! But if I buy one and get it shipped into China, won't they charge me taxes ? meaning it was the same price anyway?

What are your thoughts?

Hmmm.. well according to the exchange rate xe.com....

The Beijing prices are cheaper than the RRP here in Australia (boy we must be really getting ripped off then!)

eg Macbook pro 15" 2.16ghz = 19000RMB = AUD$3000. (It is $3200 on the Apple Australia website).
the 2.33ghz = 23500 RMB = AUD$3713 ($3999 on the website).
