Answer 1

You DEFINITELY want to buy all technology stuff here (apart from a cell phone, where you'll want some kind of plan there. The most popular provider is movistar)

Anyway.

Prices on goods like those (ipods, laptops) are 200-300% sometimes. My aunt and uncle were constantly picking up those things for their Argentine friends when they came to the US so that their friends wouldn't have to pay those outrageous prices!
