Depending on the model you are looking at buying this guide can save you anywhere between -$100* and $1,400 on a new Mac as long as you are willing to give up a day of your life
*although if you do purchase a low end model you are basically getting a shopping trip to New York for $100
0. (optional) Place a BTO order and have it delivered to the New York store
1. Purchase a flight to 1-2 weeks in advance (note you would have to wait for delivery if you ordered it online anyway) which will cost around £400 (500 ($700))
2. Fly there
3. Collect/buy your MacBook and dont pay tax as a foreigner. Open it when you are still in New York so it is treated as your personal computer and not an import
4. ???
5. Profit
Youre welcome
