A $2000 computer would be half of that number, if converted into Pounds ... it wouldn't double to £4000) Anyways, to answer your question, the British Pound and the Euro are not the same. The Pound is managed by the Bank of England, while the Euro is handled by the European Central Bank. As of the time of this posting, 1.00 GBP = 1.26 EUR but that is certain to fluctuate.
