Are there any disadvantages to buying a macbook pro in Vietnam?

I will be travelling to VN in 5 weeks and wondered if there are any disadvantages to buying a Macbook Pro in Vietnam. The current exchange rate to the £ is good and hopefully I will be able to claim the tax back on it.

Depends whether or not you want a specific keyboard that maybe is not available in Vietnam.

I think they only sell them with us English keyboards there (not quite the same as British).
