How can I use my laptop to access the Internet in the UK?
I'd like to be able to access the web and my e-mail when we are traveling in Scotland and England. Would I need a wireless modem? What providers are there?

Answer 1 :
If you want full flexibility, then www.three.co.uk probably offer the best value for money wireless modem for short term (I'm guessing a few months rather than a standard 12/18 month contract) Otherwise, lots of coffee shops have wifi points and I believe McDonalds are rolling those out across the country too Good luck!
Answer 2 :
I usually take mine when traveling to the UK, but find that there are so many internet cafes there that it’s somewhat easier to just use theirs! (unless you are doing a lot of photography and you need to empty your memory cards or burn CDs) Using public computers, you don’t have to worry about leaving your computer in your room or car when you are out for the day, or in left luggage where others might have access to it. Here's a list of London Internet Cafes: http://www.cafeindex.co.uk/web/cindex.nsf/CAFESEARCHMAP?OpenAgent&pn=23 Or, search through out all of the UK: http://www.cafeindex.co.uk/web/cindex.nsf/cimap?openform Many places have wi-fi, but yes, you would need a wireless modem in your computer, which most newer computers come with. Generally what you do is purchase wireless internet time by the day when you are in a hotel, but some might provide it for free. But usually it's about $10/day. As far as your email, either open up a Gmail or Yahoo mail account (free) before you leave that you can access from any computer. You can either give everyone that address, or set them up to access your email from your regular provider which can be forwarded to your new email account.

Why do you simply go onto Ebuyer.com or similar sites, look up the same laptops from both an UK-based seller and an indian seller in order to work this out?

Will a laptop purchcased in the usa work over here
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?

Answer 1 :
yeah
Answer 2 :
You might have to get a power converter but that should be it.
Answer 3 :
Yes they will.
Answer 4 :
yea ill will hay can u chose me as youre best anser pleazzzzzzzzzz
Answer 5 :
well yes.why shouldn't it work here?! LOL my laptop brand is DELL(american).it works amazing here in england.no pb!
Answer 6 :
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.
