There is no denying that New Zealand has bullshit computer prices; a laptop which would sell for $500 in USA will end up costing you about $900 in New Zealand.

If I was to import a Gaming laptop (around $900USD) into my country, would that be a good idea?
If not, why?

Thanks for anyone's advice!
 
Don't forget the VAT added cost which at the moment is at 13%, if you pay $1000, then it's going to cost you $1130 + whatever the shipping cost is, which is about $100-200 or more - putting it into context.
laptop price -$500 -->$565 --> $765
