I'm not a gammer anyway. No it's for the 32GB version. It's hard to find it for any cheaper brand new. Keep in mind this is with keyboard.

At Harvey Norman (Local tech store) You can get the 32GB Surface RT for $382AUD, or the 64GB Surface RT with touch cover for $392AUD...

In unrelated news, I'm forced to answer a 161 item problem set on Thermochemistry and Thermodynamics.

It's due tomorrow.

It's ?249 with toch cover for 32GB ($418AUD) or ?309 for 64GB with toch cover ($519AUD) Keep in mind that's 'best' exchange rates. Not sure why things are so expensive in the UK.

VAT? i heard that could be one reason.

I guess many Australians wonder why our stuff is far more expensive than the US, we have GST, and we also have a far smaller (but demanding) market.

What does that mean exactly? You have to address 161 items? Is it written or multiple choice? Why is it 'forced'?

At least you can buy it. Here in the Philippines, i don't know of anyone who stocks a Surface RT or Surface 2.

True, but then Aus has GST. Though not as high as VAT.

True, but as i mentioned in my earlier post, we have a smaller population and market.

That's odd. Though for some reason I'm not surprised.

That is 2 more "thermo" then any person should have to deal with.

Yes I know. I'm an Australian citizen. I know this issues and why a lot of Aussies shop online. We have a fairly large market here in the UK/EU but prices always seem high. Oh well, can't make sense of it really.

It's always hard to beat Apple in product availability. I suppose Australia is lucky that it's apparently one of Windows Phones bigger markets and is one of the launch countries for the Surface 2.

I am pretty sure "VAT" is Value Added Tax, correct? But what is "GST"? And what is the difference?

GST is "Goods and Services Tax". I'm not too sure what are the differences though.

It's...required. Meaning, graded.

~120 items are either multiple choice or true/false. And, technically, it's three problem sets. The third problem set has us answer another 80 items from a certain Chemistry olympiad.

...and I have three technical hours left.

Practically speaking, they're the same.

There aren't any - both are the same version of bending over and taking it up the a$$ to help fund the government MP's lavish living style.
