It’s all relative. The problem is both Hong Kong Dollar and Chinese Yuan are following the Greenback (more so with HKD I think) so an appreciating USD will actually mean appreciating HKD/CNY against AUD, i.e. more expensive Chinese-made gadgets.
It won’t matter that much though as retailers usually hedge to minimise fluctuation. But if AUD drops back to 0.7-0.8 USD, you’ll definitely find imported goods more expensive.

Have got a WD10EACS and it is a fantastic drive. Totally inaudible during idle, read or write and super cool running. Storagereview has a good test.

At this price I wish I could justify another one. Well done mwave in any case and well done for clearly listing postage costs too.
