Will a laptop purchcased in the usa work over here in the uk?
As the pound to dollar rate is 1:2, I was thinking of getting an apple macbook air. It would be purchcased in the usa, and bought over by a relative to the uk. Will it work, and would there be any problems?

yes, I am sure. My friend got one here and then she moved to germany( not UK but still,)and she emailed me and she told me she was using her laptop. Though you will have to get different internet connection
Answer 7 :
There are two issues to worry about: differing power, and slightly different keyboards. Most machines these days will work on whatever power is available, but you must be sure to check. Keyboards made for the UK have the symbol for British pounds on one of the keys, which caused a minor shuffling which I found somewhat annoying when using a UK machine. Aside from these issues, it should be fine.
Answer 8 :
Depending on where you are, you may need to buy a small little power converter. If you're looking at a Macbook Air, I'd really suggest you take a glance at a *real* sub-notebook, like the Asus EEE.
Answer 9 :
yeah it should work fine. but the macbook air wouldn't be my first pick. Id like to have one but they don't have a cd-rom drive. and with out a cd-rom drive if something happened to it you would have to pay someone else fix it for you.
