Answer 1 :
You can keep in touch with everyone. You can upload your photos from your camera to the laptop to clear your camera's memory card for more pictures. Plus, you can look up everything from where to go, how to get there, what to see, etc. Most things you can do require the internet. However, most every place in the world these days (and most hotels) have the internet for you to use.
Answer 2 :
Well, you can track your emails, your banking accounts plus any overseas accounts you may have as well. I wouldn't go anywhere without mine..Even to the North Pole twice, my laptop went~!! I even use it to keep notes..Nice tool.. Your needs may be different than most, in that case, you're lucky not to have to worry abt lugging it around~~lol
Answer 3 :
It will be very useful for a thief. I personally would not take it, there are so many internet cafes for you to use. A laptop is just another valueable item that you could loose. And most of the times you'll be too busy with sightseeing and other activities to bother with using it. Online banking with wireless access is very unsafe, it is practically an invitation to clear out your account. The only sensible use I can see is when you go abroad to study at uni and need the laptop for this or if you are really into professional-level photography and need the PC to store and digitally process your pictures.

Can a US Laptop function well in Europe?
I am going to live in France for a while. I have a Toshiba that I purchased in the US. Will my laptop works in France? I know that the electricity voltage is different there as well as the power supply plug(different head) Thanks I heard that France has a different voltage and takes a different plug(head) than in the US.

Answer 1 :
get an adapter. it'll be fine.
Answer 2 :
Usually laptops as portable device has adapter that can take US and EU voltage. All you need is just outlet adapter. To make sure about voltage check your laptop power supply, it should say Power: 110-240V or something like that. Adapter you need is something like this (US to EU adapter): http://www.allcam.biz/catalog/images2/allcam/us_eu_adapter2.jpg EDIT: this is a universal set and it does have US to EU adapter. http://www.jr.com/sima/pe/SMA_SIP5USB/#productTabDetails or buy just this: http://www.jr.com/franzus/pe/FRN_NW1C/
Answer 3 :
HI, to my knowledge all Toshiba laptops come with a universal type mains adapter which can cope with voltages from 110 - 250. Your laptop will work perfectly in France but you may need an adapter to to convert the mains plug to fit European sockets.
Answer 4 :
Yes, it should be OK. Just make sure you get a European - USA plug adapter. Also, you need to make sure that the input supply voltage of the power pack goes up to 240v, otherwise you risk blowing up the transformer. Hope this helps

Can an Alienware M18x laptop be shipped to Eastern Europe?
Can an Alienware M18x laptop be shipped to Eastern Europe?
Hey, I'm current looking to buy an AlienWare M18x laptop. Problem is, The only dell site that offers it I've found is the US Dell, which, sadly doesn't have an option for intercontinental shipping. Any solutions offered are greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Answer 1 :
Probably not, I live in Malta, which is considered as southern Europe, and I have the same problem. There are some solutions to this. You could always buy it off e-bay or amazon (if your country has an amazon site), obviously, you won't get it erectly from the source, and it might not be as safe, and don't forget to always check the warranty details. You could also try (i don't really recommended) some companies which give you an address in the USA, so, when they receive a package for that address, they automatically link it with your actual home address and send it there. There are various problems for this though, there would be a lot of handling of the product, so you have no idea what state the laptop would arrive in, warranty would probably be useless since it would be only applicable to the US. Still, if you're interested, there are companies such as Bongo International (Used By HoodieBuddy) and other sites which do this, for a fee. I never used them myself though, so I can't guarantee anything, but, if you really want to use them, I really do recommend looking up on their customer service and stuff. Also, you can check if Dell has a local website. Other than that, you could always try and see if there are any local Dell stores that - if they don't have Alienware laptops - could order it especially from you. Hope this helps, and good luck! :)

Answer 1 :
He will definitely need adapters for power. They use 220/50 vac and european standard power receptacles. Not sure about wifi standards over there. Good Luck
Answer 2 :
Hello: The laptop would function normally but it won't be able to run on the charger or recharge since their outlets are different. They also have different voltages. I would suggest you use a device like this: http://www.topmic.com/141-0703.html It works anywhere in the world. Its both an adapter and a converter. Best of luck.
Answer 3 :
Well he will need a power adapter. (no problem getting this in germany). But you should consider that dvds,games, even windows will not work on this computer if your son buys them somewhere in Europe (at least if you are not from "europe" as i assume).
