I ike this idea a lot, the problem I have with it though is cost

In the US the XPS 13 starts from $1000 which is £625 (@ 1.6 USD = 1GBP)
In the UK the XPS 13 starts from £950 which is $1520

My question is why do I have to pay over 1.5 times the cost in the UK?
Would the developer laptop be subject to this cost increase as well (note that there should be no licence fees!)

    The same being true for the netherlands (33% more expensive than in the USA) which is in part due to taxes I suppose (which aren't mentioned in the USA prices normally) however that only explains a 10-20% difference.
