Apple Logic Pro /LogicExpress Discussion

On this subject...

 

I, too, am a Brit who will be in the States in a few weeks' time. Does
anyone know if it's possible to buy an iMac there and use it here in the UK?

 

I'm worried that there will be power issues....

 

Mike

 

PS I'll also need to take a large, empty suitcase!

The Apple stores almost always charge full price. Instead of going to the 
Apple store, maybe you can call somewhere like audiomidi.com and have it 
overnight mailed to your hotel. they are selling the Logic Studio upgrade
for $160.

Mike, don't know about the power issues but you, as a student are entitled
to a student discount on Apple products here in the UK i think its quite
a substantial discount as well so it might be worth you checking that out
before you risk flying it back / hacking the plug or anything else. Your
keyboard would be different as well.

It's not worth the risk. If you take it out of the US and there are any kind of problems, you 
might not get local support. They are designed to sit on a desk, not bounce around in a 
suitcase - it's really not a good idea.

Power shouldn't be an issue though - I think they all have switch-mode supplies now and 
are supply voltage independent.

Software - that's a different matter, although the price is pretty low so it might not be 
worth the effort carrying it.

Don't get the academic version of the software - it will have implications for future 
upgrades.
