I've bought small laptops in Akihabara and brought them into the US. There's some minor paperwork to avoid paying Japanese tax, and I've never been charged customs duty in the US.
Thanks for your tips. I have emailed the companies. What is special about the computer is that it's an all-in-one system; the computer is integrated in the flatpanel monitor, which itself is widescreen and beautiful. It's very big on functions (HD TV recording etc) and looks way cool. There are several other brands who offer similar products but none are available in New Zealand AFAIK.
