I came here to post on Brazilian prices, too. Luckily, it's not like buying a(n imported) car, in which case I would basically never buy one. To the point that I'm leaning on the side of buying an MBA here, it's not the end of the world if I have to pay 500US more (entry-level MBA here is actually R$3000/US$1500, according to Apple's Brazil site). It sucks...but everyone travels with their own computers these days so getting someone to bring one for me from the States is not likely.
