Hey folks,I am looking at getting a mac book air 11", for travel and the likes. I currently have a mac book pro for at home. I have a niece in the States for the summer and was thinking of getting her to get me one. Just wondering apart from no £ and euro symbol and a few other symbol differences is there any other main difference with buying in US versus buying here.
