It's all Waterloo-Maple's fault, really: if they had maintained a version of their computer algebra system for the Amiga, I wouldn't have found it necessary to switch to Mac. Or maybe it's Commodore's fault for mismanaging themselves into oblivion; I don't know. Either way, I became painfully aware three years ago that my little Amiga would no longer satisfy my computing needs. I needed a new home computer.

PedroEloy,
The figures you quote for Europe include VAT, which the US prices do not. Although that still leaves the European laptops overpriced, it is still not as much as by 30%.
The main reason is that the US dollar is undervalued against all western European currencies and Apple clearly is not indulging in short-term price adjustments. Since, however, there is no sign of the dollar coming anywhere near parity with the euro, perhaps it is about time that Apple readjusted its currency forecasts.
