The Apple store in Singapore shows one difference between there and here – the prices end in the digit ‘8’.
Eight is an auspicious number, and so I guess the SG$2888 MacBook Pro is looking particularly good.
Sadly in the NZ store our prices end in ‘9’s. And even more unfortunately that very same MacBook pro is NZ$3499.
Our exchange rates are essentially 1-1, so if you are in Singapore and coming downunder, then grab a mac or two.

I am guessing that Singapore doesnt have GST or our impore duty is higher?

That’s it – thanks for the link. That’s why I used the otherwise rare word ‘auspicious.’

Here in NZ people trust prices with prime numbers in them…..
