Buying an Apple iMac

Any tips on where to buy an Apply iMac in Bogota? I'm looking for a new one - 17in screen, 1 Gb RAM.

The other option is to buy one in the UK and bring it in, but - unless it's loads cheaper - I think I'd rather cut down on my baggage.

Thanks a lot.

I haven't shopped for an iMac but all other high end electronics cost at least double, at times triple, in most of latin america, so i'd strongly suggest you bring one.

Way better to bring one. As Podborski mentioned electronics are way more expensive here. I think in US you can buy an imac for about US$ 1200-1400 while here it would cost you at least US$ 2000 or even more.

There are a couple mac places in Unilago But as others have pointed out, you are WAY better bringing it in and you'll even be able to see at a profit when you leave.
