I'd be surprised if the cost and hassle of exporting + buying here exceeds the cost of just buying one there. Also, what about e.g. warranty? Sometimes they care where you bought it. I brought a simeple 3 year old desktop from Europe into Aus when I moved back here some time ago and (from memory) had to pay sales tax on it! Bloody stupid. BTW, more of a question for slug-chat.
