    If you compare the pricing of a Z in Canada vs. the U.S., it seems that we're still very lucky!!!

    The base price is lower in the U.S., but so are its configuration options, and adding any configs on the U.S. site all seem to cost almost double(!) what they do in Canada.

    For example, in Canada, upgrade from 256GB drive to 512 for an extra $600. In the U.S., it's $1000 (!!) -- that is, $1300 more than the 128GB option (which is not an option in Canada).

    It's not that the Canadian prices are particularly *good*, it's that the U.S. configurations are *abysmal*.

    Yep. If you compare the Z13 CTOs between the Canadian and American sites, the Canadian Z13 CTO is cheaper especially with all the upgrade options.
