From my recollection of the keynote, Apple's top end new iMac comes
in at US $1799.

... so how on earth does this correlate to Apple Australia's pricing
on the same machine to be $4195?!

Say the exchange rate is around US$1 for AUST$0.50

$1799 * 2 = $3598, not $4195.

Once again, Apple Australia tacks on it's ridiculous extra margin -
can someone explain why we are paying an additional $600??

$3598 + $359.80 GST = $3957.80 which is $237.20 less than $4195. Not to mention that if there were any additional charges they'd have GST added to them as well.

Not that I wouldn't say no to lower prices though :)

Have fun,
Shay
