    Am I going mad?
    Why is the new M1 16" I want $2,699 on the American site yet the UK site has it at $3,590! Is it a tax thing not included yet on the US one?

    • there's no sales tax on the US models but I believe thats 6-8% added on checkout? maybe someone can confirm.kingsteven
    • in the UK they add 20% vat to everything, but the difference on a $400 and a £400 upgrade is 38% (see my post a couple days ago) so yeah it's fuckedkingsteven

    • $400 + 9% = $436 (£316) so a
      £400 (memory or processor) upgrade is 26% more expensive in the UK because Apple round everything up to 100      kingsteven
