Since yesterday I am the happy owner of a Mac Mini with an Intel i7 processor of 2.7 GHz, the rest of the configuration being standard, ordered from the USA. When I announced on Facebook that I was going to receive it, I was asked where I bought it and how much the product itself cost. I ordered the Mac from the USA via ecomenzi.com(from which I also purchased the iPad 2 tablet), a serious website that so far has not disappointed me, and the total price of the Mac + a Magic Mouse + a wired Apple keyboard was $1310. This value includes the Apple Store price with VAT of all products plus shipping plus customs payment plus the seller's commission.
Why didn't I buy it from Romania? Simple, because in Romania there is no possibility to configure it and in Romania it would have cost me about $300 more if I had bought a similar model from a reseller. Why did I choose the Mac Mini? Because I didn't need a MacBook, I needed a desktop and a 21-inch iMac would have represented a step backwards compared to the 24-inch monitor I have now, and the 27-inch iMac would have cost much too much having since I already have a more powerful PC. If you are tempted to buy something from the USA, ask for a price from ecomenzi.com to give you an idea of how much you can save compared to the prices in Romania, I was satisfied with their services.
Finally, I have to thank those from Evomag which helped me to find an adapter for Romanian sockets very quickly and to turn on my Mac otherwise now I was on the road looking for one.
