Shopping for a Mac in Argentina
To put it simple, you have to be nuts.
Here is a little comparisson I did, I choose, in every case, the top of the line of the model, the prices were taken from this place in Argentina, and from the online Apple Store, they don't include taxes (on the USA case, the prices for Argentina do include them), nor any type of promotion/ discount (in the case of Argentina alone, Apple does not offer any on its plain vanilla site).
MacBook Black (super dupper) - Argentina
8230 $ - 2660 U$S
MacBook Black (super dupper) - USA
1500 U$S
Apple Cinema Display 20" - Argentina
3500 $ - 1130 U$S
Apple Cinema Display (20" flat panel)
600 U$S
Mac Mini (Super dupper) - Argentina
4400 $ - 1500 U$S
Mac Mini - USA
800 $
The clear "winner" is the MacBook, while the price of the other items are practically twice as much as you would pay in the USA.

That's crazy. Why are they more expensive in Argentina? That doesn't make any sense...
We are far and away, I guess :)
Also, of course, you are paying the hip & the cool.
And, do not forget that there a lot of taxes that you have to pay (as a store and as an individual) to import those onto Argentina.
