Answer 1 :
Even if you were, how would you charge your laptop?
Answer 2 :
Fully Charge your iPod before you leave and when you get there, stop by an Apple store and buy a wall charger that has the two prong European plug, but you will need an adaptor if you travel inside the UK, because their outlets are different from the rest of Europe. Another option is to buy a wall charger here and buy an outlet converter that will convert a U.S. plug into another plug, they make converters that have every country built into it or individual ones that only work in one country.
Answer 3 :
If you are backpacking, then turn the music/movies off and enjoy all the nature and culture europe has to offer...
Answer 4 :
Options... 1. In the US, buy a travel adapter. Radio Shack is good with carrying these. 2. Buy the charger in Europe. Not recommended as they're useless in US If you just bring your USB cable, you can charge in any computer.

If I buy a laptop from any place in Europe, will it work in Portugal?

If I buy a laptop from any place in Europe, will it work in Portugal?
This is actually several related questions: 1) What places have similar electronic things (eg plugs, power level requirements..) to Portugal? 2) Would I -have- to buy in Portugal for it to work there? 3) How much would a cable to convert it from one plug to one that worked there cost? 4) Do countries in Europe use similar power systems (plugs, power level requirements, etc) or is each country different? If you can answer any or all of these I would appreciate it, thanks <3

In Europe voltage is 220V/50HZ.Most European countries have the same plugs(I think only in GB and France are a little different).

Answer 1 :
Have you tried the computer's language settings?
Answer 2 :
Move back to the US. Sorry. Those sites detect your location according to what IP you connect from, and make adjustments accordingly. If they don't let you force it back to US defaults, you're pretty much stuck. There are proxies you can connect to which hide your IP, but most of those are already outside the US, so that won't really buy you much.
Answer 3 :
Use a proxy (proxy site or port proxy) that connects to a US server.

Answer 1 :
My wife is from England. We bought a Lenovo laptop for America and she was able to use it over there with only an adapter for the plug in the wall. The computer was able to tell the electricity it was getting without converting it. Hope this helps.
Answer 2 :
yes, you can use your Laptop anywhere in the world you can buy power convector's converts at the airport, or any large computer store, Make sure you get the multiple power connector, France and the Switzerland power plugs are different,
