Apple computers pricing

Canadians are getting a raw deal when it comes to Apple computers. We are being charged an average of 150-200 dollars extra on every computer purchase.

I Agree.
The prices does not reflect the exchange rate therefore we pay more, I estimated that the iPhone will cost us between $20-40 and truth behold it costs about $220 CAD (excluding taxes). This does not exclude computers from the question.

Hi,
This is because of the canadian government.  We have a fair trade agreement with the United States but only on product build in the States.  Apple Computers build their computers in China so there is a custom tax on their product when it is sold in Canada

Actually the prices for Apple computers has come down; a year ago it was 300-400 more. I don't know why it's not at par but they've come down a fair bit.

On top of that, if you look at Apple software, most of it (not all of it) is the same price. Leopard, iLife, iWork, all the same. dotMac is a bit more, probably because of hosting costs.

I had to point out to someone complaining about Apple prices recently that Microsoft Office for Mac is not Apple software, it's Microsoft software. You'll still pay the Canadian penalty for that. And it costs too much in the first place anyway.
