Traveling with Pro Display XDR

[wuftbink]

Hi all,

Even now that Apple adjusted their prices in Turkey after the Turkish Lira crashed, the Pro Display XDR is still a lot cheaper in Turkey than in my home country. At the current exchange rate, in Turkey it sells for EUR 3,672.50 while in my country it’s EUR 5,599.-

When adding flight costs, import tax and a carry bag, I believe I’d still be off quite a bit cheaper.

External Dimensions of the bag are: W80cm x D27cm x H60cm

Does anyone have experience flying with it, or something of similar size, like an iMac?
Preferably, I’d like to travel with it in carry-on luggage. Given the dimensions of the carry bag, I might be pushing my luck, but it may be worth a try.

Thanks for your input.

I would check for other restrictions on products purchased out of your region before assuming this "trick" will work. If it were that easy to get a device on the cheap by purchasing it from another country where the exchange rate is better, people would be doing it all the time.

I picture you getting it home to find a defect of some sort and having Apple tell you the device needs to be serviced in Turkey, the region which it was purchased in.

If you can do it carryon, I don’t see why not. There shouldn’t be any issue buying something in another country and then taking it into yours. You may have to pay customs. Warranty may be an issue.

Did you end up doing this? Curious!
