He couldn't believe the difference in prices, anywhere from £100 to £300 dearer here in the UK compared to the prices he told me they were in the USA... :(
 
Don't you guys in the USA have to pay any kind of VAT or TAX on computers ???

Well Franko to answer this, I currently live in the Midwest (Central USA) and the advertised prices are not the price you pay at the register, you have to add on another 8.2% for Tax.
I found this system alittle strange at first since I am from Australia and the price you see advertised is the price you pay at the till (with the Tax already been factored in).
