Answer 1 :
If the laptop is new then I think that customs might be interested. I have taken a laptop to India in my hand luggage several times without problem but its not new and is just part of my personal effects
Answer 2 :
on a new one, you may be required to pay.
Answer 3 :
If you purchase a new computer in the United States and intend on importing it into India, you will have to pay the applicable duty on the item. If you fail to declare it on arrival to customs & immigration, you could be subject to fines or possible jail time.

Answer 1 :
Just put a converter onto the cable to put it into the wall. Dont worry about voltages, the charger will take care of that.
Answer 2 :
Read the labelo on the charger. It will probably say something like 90v -240v AC, or 100v -240v. If it does it will work in the US, you will simply need a plug adaptor.
Answer 3 :
i don't know what your outlets look like in the uk but ours are two verticle lines that are parallel (side by side) like this: I I
Answer 4 :
you probably will need only a plug adapter for A/C connection.

Answer 1 :
Both are the same, because parts for USA made are made in China. Most motherboards are made in a factory in China, hard drives in Singapore, cpu in Singapore and cases in China.
Answer 2 :
absolutely no difference. Their parts are still imported from other neighbouring countries. The CPU will most probably be made in Malaysia, the RAM is probably made from Japan/Korea and the motherboard is probably made by Compal from Taiwan. Wherever you buy these laptops from, and wherever they say it was assembled it, it doesn't really mean anything different. A laptop that was "Assembled in USA" is identical to one that was assembled in China. The parts still come from elsewhere. Just so you know, Compal Electronics (Taiwan) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compal_Electronics is Dell's main client in the production of laptops and notebooks, as are a lot of other companies like Acer, HP and Toshiba.

Many better laptops will allow you to change the region setting, although generally only a few times. Your best bet is probably to get a player that plays all regions, or invest in a cheap US market (Region 1) DVD player. You should be able to purchase a new DVD player for this purpose for less than USD$50.

Answer 2 :

Answer 3 :
I finally agree with the Boogie Man, ha ha, that is what I would do, good luck.
Answer 4 :
No, you probably will not need to get a Voltage transformer Most laptop Adapters can take both 110V and 240V Look on the power adapter that came with it, it should say something like "Input Range 110 to 240V" If it does then it will work on UK power.
Answer 5 :
The laptop itself will run off something like 12V. What matters it the transformer that you connect to the laptop and the mains. Written on it should be the input voltage it takes (e.g. 110V-240V). If the country you are in uses that voltage, then you can just use it (with a socket adaptor to change the plug). Otherwise you need a new transformer.

ya, you would be able to play irish blue ray dvds, but you wouldn't be able to plug it in in ireland or you'll fry the laptop, and when i was refering to the laptop frying, what i was referring to is how you'd need the adapter or it'll fry
Answer 2 :
The Americas are in Blu Ray region 1, while Ireland is in region 2, so you will probably not be able to play region 2 discs on a region 1 device. Most DVD drives allow you to change the region code a set # of times, however I don't believe that BD players have this feature. Your best bet is to either buy a BD player in Ireland, or import your BD discs from the US (or somewhere else in region 1). You could also look into software solutions such as AnyDVD HD which will remove region codes, but that would involve additional cost. Not sure what robman is referring to, as his answer is totally bogus on both counts. US laptops will work just fine in Ireland, all you need is an adapter to make the power cord physically fit in the outlet. The power itself is fine.

Answer 1 :
You should have no problem connecting via WLAN or LAN to the internet. The only problems you may encounter are certian keyboard muck-ups (nothing to worry about), but other than that, you are good to go!
Answer 2 :
You will need to conenct your wireless up the same way you connnected your laptop up to your internet at home, if you are not sure ask the hotel. If they claim to have wi-fi then you should no problem, make sure however this is FREE wi-fi otherwise you could have a hefty bill at the end of your trip.
Answer 3 :
if the hotell offers Wifi then you can use connect to that via the wireless card, i have a UK laptop and live in teh US and it works fine. Also most hotels offer FREE wifi over here, unlike england where u pay through the nose for everything. And unlike the other guy said, the keyboard will be no problem, it will stay exactly as it is.
Answer 4 :
If your laptop has a wireless adapter, you'll be fine. Otherwise, bring an ethernet cable. You won't need an ISP, because the hotels provide their own internet. Also, make sure to bring an adapter for your power cable! I've travelled abroad, and it was a disappointing thing to forget!
Answer 5 :
Everything Will J said is correct. The only other problem I see you having is with outlets (the ones here in the U.S. are shaped differently) but you should be able to find a cable that will solve that problem.
Answer 6 :
just turn on ur wifi and log on simple--- am sure the front desk will be glad to help if u have a prob

Will a laptop bought in USA which is set for a specific voltage and current work in another country?
Will a laptop bought in USA which is set for a specific voltage and current work in another country?
Different countries have different specification of Current and Voltage for their electric supply. So will an electronic equipment bought in one country work in another country with 'different' current. If not, is there any 'adapter' which can be used?
Laptops & Notebooks - 2 Answers
People's Answers, Critics, Comments, Opinions :
Answer 1 :
In back of your computer you should have a selector switch for the different voltage settings. Reason being that some computers are sold in Europe which has a 240 versus our 120 volt rating. If you did switch to the 240, you would need to buy an adapter for your plug as all the different voltages have different plugs. Probably would cost $2-$5, depending on where you got it. You would also switch the tab in the back of the computer from 120 to the 240 volts.
Answer 2 :
Any travel section of any department store will sell travel voltage adapters. Or web search >foreign voltage converters +laptops

If I bought a computer (Mac Mini or Laptop) in USA will it work in UK?
I am going to the US soon and rather than spend a load of money at home for a computer, I can get a cheaper one there. I know that power supplies are different for the USA and UK but if I brought the computer home and then bought a power cable back home will it work?

Answer 1 :
Yes it has no reason for it not to, I have imported a laptop and a zune myself from the us. You need to change you time settings, get an adapter or new charger, may have no warrenty. http://www.avforums.com/forums/laptops-netbooks/376762-buying-laptop-usa-use-uk.html read some of that
Answer 2 :
yes, and the power supplies automatically switch between 110 and 240volts so you just need a $1 adapter. Apple price fix worldwide though and unless you are particulary lucky with the exchange rate it makes no difference on price. I know this as an apple user who goes to the states a lot. I got mine cheap by buying one new from ebay (my macbook pro cost £1400 instead of £1800 and the applecare cost me £90 instead of £300) I think people take advantage of not only the exchange rates but also student discounts and the varying worldwide cost of applecare in order to provide the machines and warranties so cheap. EDIT: the warranties are applicable worldwide.
Answer 3 :
yes it should work

Yes, all you need to do is a get all in one adapter that will let you plug it into the UK.

How much customs value do I need to declare when shipping a defective laptop from the Philippines to the USA?
I was sent a laptop purchased in Chicago as a gift. I live in the Philippines. Just about a month in using it, it wont power on and needs to be sent back to the U.S. to be repaired. I have inquired how much sending it back would cost but I am not sure how much to declare the value of the laptop since it is defective. (It was originally purchased at $600). Any suggestions?

The computer itself is not a problem - lots of people travel with them all the time. Customs now has the right to search the contents of the laptop. They don't search everyone's but they can. If you don't cooperate, they can seize it. Since someone gave it to him, he should make sure he knows everything that is on the disk, and remove any files that he doesn't absolutely need to bring along.

One word of caution, computers must be removed or placed in special computer bags. Don't try to leave the computer in the original box or you will have trouble going through security..

Answer 1 :
contact dell or whomeever the computer is purchased from if not go to like best buy, cosco or whereever they sell comp and i am sure they will be able to tell you
Answer 2 :
u need to ask them before u buy it to see if the thing can come with a language translator for all the programs. u might also need to buy spanish software in case it doesnt come with an option to convert it. if u can't do this, she might need to learn english. this might help her later, and it would be smart in case she needs it later on.
Answer 3 :
She needs to buy a Spanish version of the software. Also, it is illegal to export several of the programs installed on computers out of the country. When you bought the computer, you likely agreed to an end user agreement that stated that you agreed not to export the software.
Answer 4 :
I would think that these days you could buy a laptop in the USA with all Spanish already installed. Heck, when I go to the doctor it takes them an hour to find forms in English for me to read.
Answer 5 :
Depending on the software you usually have to install in the desired language. Everytime I install Windows I don't remember seeing a language selection screen. So you'd need to find a Spanish version of Windows. As for other programs, you'd need to check their website or try installing the software to see if you can select languages. I believe Nero has language packs you can download to adjust languages. A few other programs I've used has a language selection on install. I'd start with a formatted hard drive and install the programs one by one starting with Windows looking for the ones you can set the languages for. If it's a new laptop you can usually tell them you need it in English, French, Spanish or almost any other language. This might take an extra few days depending on if the language you need is commonly spoken in that area.

Answer 1 :
YES !
Answer 2 :
The laptop itself will, but be careful about the charger. Make sure the voltage ratings are the same, and if not, buy a transformer and surge protector to avoid frying it.
Answer 3 :
Of course it will.
Answer 4 :
Yes you will just need a power adapter for the outlets there. Just the little plugs, as they are different from the US (as I'm sure you have noticed). The computers power cord should automatically convert for your computer so the different voltage will not effect your computer. It is never a bad idea to use a power strip/surge protector just in case though. It is in fact never a bad idea when using any expensive electronic device.
Answer 5 :
give me a reason y not?
Answer 6 :
Yes. It will work just fine. My USA purchased Sony Vaio did very well for the 2 years I lived in Kuwait. Just keep in mind that if you buy it in the USA and need to have it serviced, you might have to ship it back to the USA for fixing rather than going through local Kuwaiti electronics dealers like Al Ghanim. Another thing to consider is that you will have to install a program to type in Arabic since a computer purchased in the USA will not have that capability.

Yes you will just need a power adapter for the outlets there. Just the little plugs, as they are different from the US (as I'm sure you have noticed). The computers power cord should automatically convert for your computer so the different voltage will not effect your computer. It is never a bad idea to use a power strip/surge protector just in case though. It is in fact never a bad idea when using any expensive electronic device.
Answer 5 :
give me a reason y not?
Answer 6 :
Yes. It will work just fine. My USA purchased Sony Vaio did very well for the 2 years I lived in Kuwait. Just keep in mind that if you buy it in the USA and need to have it serviced, you might have to ship it back to the USA for fixing rather than going through local Kuwaiti electronics dealers like Al Ghanim. Another thing to consider is that you will have to install a program to type in Arabic since a computer purchased in the USA will not have that capability.

Answer 1 :
Your friend has to declare a value on the laptop. This is important for claims in case of non-delivery or due to damage during transit. Based on the value, GST will be levied. There is no GST if the value is low..
Answer 2 :
why spend money on a laptop when you can get it for free? just go to this site and complete a few quick tasks and they'll send you a sony vaio laptop at no charge!

Probably not. The reason these big companies sell them in different locations is because the warranty requirements and laws vary widely from country to country. I would imagine that warranty information is readily available on the HP website.

its fine but i wouldnt count on it as u mentioned India

all laptops come with an international warranty from best buy, just throw in 30 dollars.

Answer 2 :
Our oldest son lives and works in London UK and overseas postage is atrocious and very expensive. If I were in your shoes, I believe your best bet would be to buying from a USA major supplier...hopefully like Dell Outlet though I can foresee your problems bec some Sellers unless you bought on EBAY and then paid via PayPal might not accept foreign currency... Actually I own 3 Dell Notebook PCs and I was surprised that there is a EBAY Seller here in Northern VA around Washington DC that sells top rated Dells and many Brits and Europeans actually pay the inflated price plus hefty S&H. Another choice is maybe if your child has credit card is to use that credit card number <= assume you are paying or to ask the host family to assist you if it isn't too much trouble. Depending on where in USA your child is located, I may be even willing to help out and provide some assistance, and you could provide me more details via emails. Best of Luck and Cheers! David I'm Back and Happen to Think that: one large & reputable online store that I have used in the past that might solve everything regarding a USA buy and delivery, and accepting foreign currency is {www.newgg.com}

Get it from eBay United Kingdom (yeslaptops.com/ebay-unitedkingdom) and have it delivered to USA.

Do I have have to have a voltage adapter as well as a plug adapter to use my laptop in the USA?
I purchased the computer while on vacation in the UK and will be bringing it home to the US. I have a plug adapter, but it does not convert voltage. Do I need to buy the expensive world adapters that also convert voltage, or will just a plug adapter work fine?
Other - Electronics - 3 Answers
People's Answers, Critics, Comments, Opinions :
Answer 1 :
most consumer electronics in this day and age already come with an adapter that works with both 120V and 220V. To make sure, you should just read the adapter and it will say something like "Input: 110-220V"
Answer 2 :
Look closely at the fine print on your laptop's power brick. It will almost certainly say something like "Input: 100-240V, 50-60 Hz" This means anything from 100 to 240 volts, and anything from 50 to 60 Hertz AC. Which means that yes, you can power it directly from North American wall sockets without a voltage adapter (i.e. a transformer). All you need is the plug adapter. It's a lot easier for laptop makers to build these universal power supplies than it is to build and stock different supplies for different countries. This way the only thing they have to change is the cordset. I and many other travelers do it the other way all the time. My US-bought laptop works fine with just plug adapters all over the world. btw, in case you were wondering, the "100 volts" as a possible input voltage is for Japan - normal wall socket current in Japan is just 100V.
Answer 3 :
Chances are you won't even need an adapter. The power adapter for the computer likely uses a standard IEC type power cable, which you can get in the USA when you get there, or if you are like me, have a box of them.

How much will UK Customs charge me on importing a laptop from the USA?
Hi I'm considering importing a laptop from the American computer store www.excaliberpc.com to my home in the UK. After currency conversion the laptop costs £627 (or there abouts) and shipping approximately £71. Basically can somebody who knows tell me how much I'll be charged by UK customs (if any) and how this will affect the delivery time (I intend on paying a fair amount extra for expedited international delivery. Thanks in advance for any help, I'm very grateful!

People's Answers, Critics, Comments, Opinions :
Answer 1 :
It depends who the company ships with, they all have different charges. I often recieve car parts from america and find UPS or parcelforce are most likely to charge. You can contact the company and ask them to send it as a gift or mark down the value of the goods as often import tax is done as a percentage by customs whereas the shipping company usually charges a set fee. Bear in mind when doing this the item will not be insured for the correct value if lost in the post (but ive never had a problem with anything being lost and you still get a tracking number). Hope that helps
Answer 2 :
Forwarding company offers international shipping services from pretty much any online store. However, they also offer a free Landed cost estimate that includes ALL charges (shipping, duties, taxes, etc.) Just input the information you provided here: http://www.bongous.com/consolidation_calculator.php There is no obligation and it takes 2 seconds to get the estimate. I am in AU and I "trial run" all my purchases that way.
Answer 3 :
Tax will be around 20% but be aware that you will need a voltage adaptor for it to work in the UK, and if it comes with a warranty it will not usually be valid in the UK.

Should I buy a new laptop in the USA before I move, or in the UK after I arrive?
My current laptop feels like it weighs 100lbs and I am thinking about getting one of the newer, lightweights (even though mine works fine for what I need). I know there is a difference with the electric, but I used a converter before with no problems. I'm just wondering on which side of the pond I will find the best deal.

Surely you will get the best deal in the USA side! I live in UK, but my both laptops an old one and new where brought from the USA ;) Don't think twice, just go for one of the lightweights (Mac Air is really cool) and be happy!
Answer 2 :
Definitely USA I agree. Even in Sweden where I live a Mac for instance is double the usd price and the UK is allot more expensive then Sweden. I'm gonna buy a new laptop when I go to Miami next month for sure. Btw thanx for your answer.
Answer 3 :
If you buy in the UK then you'll be able to get warranty repair in the UK while if you buy in the US you'll be able to get warranty repair in the US. Whether you'll be able to get a warranty repair outside the country you buy it in will depend on whether you are a citizen of that country. If you're a US citizen then you can buy a laptop in the US and if it breaks you can get it fixed anywhere in the world under warranty while a UK citizen will only be able to get a laptop bought in the US fixed under warranty in the US (i.e. paying for out of warranty repairs or shipping it to the US and back). Laptop reliability does seem to have improved although there I haven't seen any decent statistics on it but if a laptop does break it'll be expensive to fix out of warranty.

Answer 1 :
You just need a adapter plug
Answer 2 :
It should work fine with just a plug converter (or new power cable, or even just taking a pair of pliers to the plug (actually don't do that one)) as pretty much all laptop adapters are designed to be able to work anywhere on the planet (so they are designed to be able to handle both voltages and both frequencies used for domestic mains power). Just check the label stuck on the adapter to make sure it does say that 110 V @ 60 Hz will work (I'd be very surprised if it can't handle 110 V and 60 Hz). EDIT: The laptop adapter will only draw as much power as it needs which is far less than what pretty much any outlet can supply and as long as the adapter is a universal adapter it'll charge fine.
