Can I buy a laptop...

[lillyanginger]

...in the US and will I be able to use it here? Apple Mac books are so much cheaper in the States....

Anyone know?

Yes. You may just need a US/UK power adapter. When I was in NYC recently I looked into it. I think the Warranty on Apple products is worldwide, but you should check that too.

If buy it in the US you will need to pay customs duty on it when you bring it back into the UK. This will be picked up if you buy it online and have it delivered to the UK.

If you buy it on holiday... well... let's just say a lot of people seems to turn up back from holiday with new laptops (and watches) having made sure they don't have any packaging etc. so can bluff their way past customs in case they get asked... not that I am condoning that sort of behaviour.

Definitely. Absolutely no issues.

Yep have Mac Airbook and iPad both purchased in the States at a fraction of the cost than in UK, suggest you post the warrantee and receipt to yourself from US and discard of all packaging before traveling home.
