    OMG! the recent Euro/Dollar exchange rates puts a Macbook (cheapest model) at around €890 if you can get someone to pick up one from the States, compared to the €1119 here!
    And thats with 7 or 8% sales tax - you could get it even cheaper from one of those States that doesn't have sales tax!

    I bought a Macbook from Canada in July & there is no difference except for the plug. Oh one big difference. The money, you will probably save about €400 at least. Good luck.
