I’m based in the U.S. but was wondering whether buying a MBP in Australia, as an example, would be cheaper since the USD is stronger than the AUS.

Apple Tax is high when taking into account currency conversions, especially when factoring shipping back to the US some products you’d be paying close to double. It’s the case where foreigners will try to buy Apple products when visiting the US to save the money.
Euro is stronger than dollar and MacBooks here are more expensive
Here in Thailand 14" MacBook Pro is starting from 1699 USD (M3) and 2269 USD (M3 Pro), tax included.
But Malaysia probably cheaper.
UAE is pretty cheap, don’t know if it’s less than the US though
Malaysia, but only if you buy it offline
If you’re based in Malaysia and are able to see prices there, how much is a M3 MBP without the upgrades?
M3 MBP 8core, 8gb/512gb retails for RM7499 (USD 1612). It may be cheaper for now, but we’ll be rolling out a new ‘luxury goods tax’ sometime next year. They’ve yet to announce but we’ve been told it’ll be between 5-10%
not Europe for sure
Greece has the lowest Apple prices in EU
If you think Europe is bad, don’t look at the prices in Brazil.
Apple will not sell cheaper products outside of US. I paid 1300 USD for the m2 air here in india
Actually, the US is probable the best country to buy a Macbook. Or at least it is if you live in any latin american country.
I live in México and the price for a M3 Pro Macbook Pro is $45,000 MXN ($2,602 USD)
If I cross the border, that same model would cost me $1999 USD (which is $34,571.51 MXN)
So there’s a big difference. I often visit CA and I prefer buying apple tech there.
a macbook is like never worth it, apple is way overpriced for what they offer
What’s a comparable laptop worth its weight against a M2 or M3 mbp?
None. Sure, Apple skimps on RAM. However, MacOS is far superior to Windows.
Or M1 MacBook Air for that matter. Just name one non-Apple laptop that can go to sleep properly, wake up instantly, stay cool, have a good screen, and perform somewhat close to Apple Silicon with at least 10h of battery life.
The HP Elite Dragonfly series is the only option that even tries to compete here and they’re very expensive, have bad screens, and struggle with Modern Standby like every Windows laptop.
Apple silicon chips put an end to that fallacy
Don’t even think about Europe
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAH. You obviously haven’t seen the prices in Australia. Nothing is cheaper there, and that’s before paying to have it shipped over and the import duties.
Delaware or Oregon. No sales tax.
The UK and US are pretty much matched from what I’ve seen, when the exchange rate isn’t ridiculous of course
Not Brazil
