I’m based in the U.S. but was wondering whether buying a MBP in Australia, as an example, would be cheaper since the USD is stronger than the AUS.

Apple Tax is high when taking into account currency conversions, especially when factoring shipping back to the US some products you’d be paying close to double. It’s the case where foreigners will try to buy Apple products when visiting the US to save the money.
The UK and US are pretty much matched from what I’ve seen, when the exchange rate isn’t ridiculous of course
UAE is pretty cheap, don’t know if it’s less than the US though
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAH. You obviously haven’t seen the prices in Australia. Nothing is cheaper there, and that’s before paying to have it shipped over and the import duties.
Not Brazil
Many countries don’t have official Apple stores. The 3rd party sellers will always mark up the prices for profit alongside adding import taxes
Here in Thailand 14" MacBook Pro is starting from 1699 USD (M3) and 2269 USD (M3 Pro), tax included.
But Malaysia probably cheaper.
I know Japan is really cheap. Depending on what state you’re buying in I’d say it’s probably even cheaper than most US states when sales tax is added.
Apple will not sell cheaper products outside of US. I paid 1300 USD for the m2 air here in india
a macbook is like never worth it, apple is way overpriced for what they offer
Apple silicon chips put an end to that fallacy
What’s a comparable laptop worth its weight against a M2 or M3 mbp?
Or M1 MacBook Air for that matter. Just name one non-Apple laptop that can go to sleep properly, wake up instantly, stay cool, have a good screen, and perform somewhat close to Apple Silicon with at least 10h of battery life.
The HP Elite Dragonfly series is the only option that even tries to compete here and they’re very expensive, have bad screens, and struggle with Modern Standby like every Windows laptop.
None. Sure, Apple skimps on RAM. However, MacOS is far superior to Windows.
Don’t even think about Europe
For a EU citizen, iirc its cheaper to fly to the US, buy an apple product, get a b&b for the night and fly back. Than straight up buying it here
Well not Sweden, cheapest Macbook Air is 1300 dollars, cheapest Macbook Pro is 2300 dollars, and that is with 8 gb RAM.
in Canada Base model m3 14 inch pro is $1513.13 USD, before sales tax tho
Lol no, it’s not like the price is the same amount of dollars, it will most likely be adjusted (except maybe for Euros and USD that have a close value). Taxes will matter the most, if you are in the US just look for a state that charges the least sales taxes and there you go.
