OKAYOKAYOKAY.
(first off, let me say, if this post doesn't answer any questions, i'll have more accurate ones soon, my mum is a CBSA officer)
after much pawing through the CBSA website (http://www.cbsa-asfc.gc.ca/)
this is what i've come up with:
according to this page [here].
You'll have to pay the applicable provincial taxes
(GST+PST or HST+PST depending on where you live.)
the only real exception is to little things and normally PST items (kids clothing, art supplies if you're a student, etc.)
this in an excerpt from here
so to reiterate,
no duties on Laptops because they aren't dutiable.
you have to pay your province's taxes though.
(GST/PST or HST/PST if you live in Newfoundland/Labrador, Nova Scotia or New Brunswick)
hope this helped.

I brought the machine across the line myself.<-This line doesn't matter because getting it through the post or from UPS is the same idea. Taking advantage of the fact that laptops are covered under the technology category at Customs Canada and thus exempt from fees, I did not pay any duty or brokerage costs. I paid $200 CAD in taxes (PST+GST).
