Apple does not price MacBooks evenly around the world. The same base MacBook Air or MacBook Pro configuration can swing sharply by country once local VAT, duties, exchange rates, and Apple’s own regional pricing bands get involved.
This guide tracks the current base MacBook configurations Apple exposes on its online store for each supported storefront. That means you can compare the real retail price of:
- MacBook Air base configurations by screen size, finish, and GPU tier.
- MacBook Pro base configurations by screen size, finish, display finish, and chip tier.
What this page is not trying to do:
- It does not model every custom memory or storage upgrade permutation.
- It does not estimate reseller discounts, education pricing, refurbished pricing, or carrier bundles.
- It does not try to normalize taxes outside the price Apple shows on the storefront itself.
What it does give you is a clean country-by-country lookup for the MacBook configurations Apple is actively merchandising on each store. That makes it useful if you are:
- Comparing official list prices before a move or international purchase.
- Checking whether a nearby country has a meaningfully lower starting price.
- Tracking how Apple positions MacBook Air vs MacBook Pro across regions.
