Hey everyone!
My sister is currently studying in Hong Kong, and she will return to The Netherlands halfway January. I am considering asking her to bring me either a MBA or rMBP (haven't decided on the model yet) from HK, as there is a huge price difference. For example, the base model MBA is 1270 euro's, whereas it would be 918 euros if it would be bought in Hong Kong. I am really curious about other people's experiences in similar situations.
1. Anyone has any experiences with this?
2. Will there be any problems at customs? She will be carrying her own Sony Vaio laptop with her as well, and maybe an iPad (as she is considering buying one there).
3. What about the power supply on the MBA, can I just change the duck beak to a two-pin charger in order for it to be charged in Europe?
4. Will it be a normal QWERTY keyboard?
5. Will there any other problems that might occur which I have to think about?
Thanks in advance for sharing your experiences and thoughts!
