The USD hasn't been that weak to the pound in quite some time. Quick currency conversion shows that 400 GBP is about 550 USD. The fact that the price is nearly doubled in USD seems very odd to me. Doubly so as the GPB price should be all in inclusive of VAT.
- gadgetoid 5y agoIt's $479, you're looking at the Star Book.

- grp000 5y agoI'm on the checkout page of the base starlite (8GB ram, 240GB SSD), and all in to the USA by DHL... it's saying no tax (suck it USgov?), And free DHL worldwide shipping at £318 or $438. I don't NEED a chuckable backup/emergency laptop, but for the Linux-first property, and the price I'm having a hard time resisting. The only downside is that they say the order will be filled mid January of next year, so a long wait.
