Any recommendations for a mini-laptop to be used in Europe?
We will be traveling to Amsterdam, Edinburgh, Northern England and London on holiday and business next month. My husband and I will need a small, lightweight laptop for business purposes. Thank you kindly.

Answer 1 :
12 inch Powerbook. MAC. Easily adjusts to different languages, time zones, etc. AND comes with a power adapter with interchangable prongs, great for international travel. Lightweight and durable and MACs don't get viruses. Very user friendly. I highly recommend it. Good luck!
Answer 2 :
I agree--MAC Powerbook. No viruses, and you don't need to lug around a power converter.

Answer 4 :
Any type of macintosh computer will due
Answer 5 :
The best computer for on-the-go is the Toughbook from Panisonic, it has a durable steel casing and can withstand a couple drops to the ground, but is very expensive, starting at $1500. A Dell however can do the job perfectly, but if you want to take the computer back home to use, you may want to look in to a Sony Viao or a Toshiba.
Answer 6 :
I would buy a used 12 inch iBook.
Answer 7 :
Probably like the first guy said. Macs dont get viruses because they are so annoying of a system that most people dont have the system so why bother creating a virus for a small sect. I would go with something under 7lbs. I use a dell inspiron e1705 its light weight but has a 17'' widescreen display so it isnt very small
Answer 8 :
13.1" MacBook. They are small, compact, and light. And, Windows XP will run on it too. By the way, when are you leaving for Europe? I WANT TO COME! LOL

Answer 1 :
I believe your power supply will work on all European voltages. Check to see if it's marked for 120 to 240 Volts. The 60 Hz - 50Hz difference doesn't matter. Your biggest problem is adapting to the various styles of AC outlets. Radio Shack has a couple of adapter kits to fit the various European outlets; pick them up. Have a great trip!

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.
