> here in New Zealand we have Consumer Gaurentees Act - so even if it's iffy quality next 5 or so years I can get it fixed for free
A quick search reveals the Razer costs around $500 USD more in NZ than in the US (converted prices to USD). The MBP 16" is $400 more. Wouldn't part of the reason it costs more be because of this legislation?
Generally speaking we have taxes included in our pricing (often forgotten when doing conversions) and because small market we often get "taken for a ride" as there's limited volume. Not many people actually use the CGA, but if you know about it, it's gold :)
