If you pay for it.
Answer 2 :
yes u can
Answer 3 :
Yes, USA computers can use European WiFi and vice-versa. WiFi is pretty much the same all over the world. Of course, you can only use the WiFi if it's a network that doesn't need a password, or you know what the password is (and/or you're paying to use it).
Answer 4 :
yup...

Should I Buy A Laptop And Good Camera For Europe?

Should I Buy A Laptop And Good Camera For Europe?
Next summer I'm going to Europe for 3 weeks on a trip through band and choir. I've never traveled internationally before so I'm not sure what kinds of electronics and such I should take, specifically a laptop and really good digital camera. I have a basic kodak right now, it's 8.2 MP and takes pretty good pics. But I want to know if I should get one thats really good, because I'm an amateur photographer and a photographic opportunity in Europe would be a sad thing to miss with a camera that isn't as good. also; should i get a laptop to put pictures on so I dont have to take so many memory cards? I have a tendency to take loads of pics on small things to I know I will take even more on this trip. do they have wireless internet at most hotels in Europe? I'm going to places like London, Paris, and Athens but I'm not sure if I could access free internet over there, and if I can do I need anything special for it? I know I have loads of questions, but any help is appreciated! Thanks! thanks for the tips especially about the voltage. that helps a lot. but I really need to know if it would be beneficial to me if I did bring a laptop or would it be impractical. I'm not backpacking I'm taking a bus and flights so it won't be hard traveling. If you have any firsthand experiences please share! same with a really nice digital camera, Im thinking a canon probably an EOS Rebel. does anyone know if that would be a good idea to take it or would it just be too much of a hassle. even if I do, i plan on taking my smaller one if we go out to dinner or to museums and such because they arent going to want someone taking bunches of pics at the Louvre probably!

If you bring a laptop Im not sure if you can use it. THey have different plug outlets than we do. You need to buy a plug transfer thing.
Answer 2 :
shure if u want to
Answer 3 :
If you bring electrical devices to Europe, make sure they have a voltage switch, and can be changed from 110 volts, as used in the USA, to 230 volts, as used in Europe. Otherwise to will need a voltage transformer in addition to the plug adapter. Wireless LAN is common in most European hotels in London, Paris or Athens.
Answer 4 :

Nobody but you can honestly answer that. Do the research on their feedback if it is eBay.
Answer 2 :
I've done a study, few mins ago, on I-net abt it. This place named 'europe' is also on planet earth, so no need to worry abt it, its like US & Canada, and can make laptops too!!

Can you use a laptop with a (plug) transformer in Europe?

Can you use a laptop with a (plug) transformer in Europe?

Answer 1 :
Many places in Europe uses 220V at 50Hz, so you will need a power supply that will support that. However, you should get an adaptor kit, as not all countries use the same kind of outlet.
Answer 2 :
YES All you need is a small adapter that fits the AC end. European countries have larger ends on the plug. Radio Shack used to sell them. Anyway your power supply can already use EU electricity, you just cant plug it in without the end being correct. The laptop transformers are autoswitching/sensing they can run from 100-240v . As long as it is a modern laptop from PII to P4. The cost should be $20 or less for the plug set (which includes Japan/EU and some other countries) Check Ebay. Remember you don't need a whole powersupply, just the ends
