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.

Answer 1 :
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.
