I've just added the bottom range MBP to my basket, and entered my
friends friend's ZIP code, and it comes in at: $2,166.42 (£1,132.65) -
so, yes, not a great deal in it. I'm not VAT reg'd so can't claim that
back, which means all in all a £200 pound saving (approx), so worth
considering, provided it's not too much hassle!

cheers,
