I’m based in the U.S. but was wondering whether buying a MBP in Australia, as an example, would be cheaper since the USD is stronger than the AUS.

Actually, the US is probable the best country to buy a Macbook. Or at least it is if you live in any latin american country.
I live in México and the price for a M3 Pro Macbook Pro is $45,000 MXN ($2,602 USD)
If I cross the border, that same model would cost me $1999 USD (which is $34,571.51 MXN)
So there’s a big difference. I often visit CA and I prefer buying apple tech there.
Lol no, it’s not like the price is the same amount of dollars, it will most likely be adjusted (except maybe for Euros and USD that have a close value). Taxes will matter the most, if you are in the US just look for a state that charges the least sales taxes and there you go.
Australia offers a 10% tax refund for tourists at the airport. If you account for that then it will probably be cheaper
All countries do that. And that is not going to make it cheaper than buying in the US as Australian prices are high for everything before you take the tax into account.
You can use student discount, they don’t even ask for an id
The UK and US are pretty much matched from what I’ve seen, when the exchange rate isn’t ridiculous of course
Many countries don’t have official Apple stores. The 3rd party sellers will always mark up the prices for profit alongside adding import taxes
Not Brazil
Don’t even think about Europe
UAE is pretty cheap, don’t know if it’s less than the US though
not Europe for sure
Greece has the lowest Apple prices in EU
If you think Europe is bad, don’t look at the prices in Brazil.
Malaysia, but only if you buy it offline
If you’re based in Malaysia and are able to see prices there, how much is a M3 MBP without the upgrades?
M3 MBP 8core, 8gb/512gb retails for RM7499 (USD 1612). It may be cheaper for now, but we’ll be rolling out a new ‘luxury goods tax’ sometime next year. They’ve yet to announce but we’ve been told it’ll be between 5-10%
Apple will not sell cheaper products outside of US. I paid 1300 USD for the m2 air here in india
Here in Thailand 14" MacBook Pro is starting from 1699 USD (M3) and 2269 USD (M3 Pro), tax included.
But Malaysia probably cheaper.
I know Japan is really cheap. Depending on what state you’re buying in I’d say it’s probably even cheaper than most US states when sales tax is added.
