Buying electronics from EU; Duty & VAT? (lemm.ee)

I'm thinking of buying a new laptop from a business in Spain (Slimbook fwiw), but it's not clear to me from what I've read online whether or what kind of additional charges I'd have to pay. Has anyone else been through the process already?

Looks like you'll need to pay VAT but no duty:
