Yes, but more importantl make sure the power supply will work in the UK! If not, you'll have to buy one when you get here from Maplin. And if you're passing through Basingstoke, feel free to say hello!

Answer 1 :
mention the purpose of use. gaming , study or business play.com is good for cheap laptop
Answer 2 :
Im guessing you live in the Uk? Try Ebay for starters to get a cheap one. But I dont neccessarily mean 'cheap' I just mean 'less expensive.' I have a Dell Inspiron Mini and it works wonders although I wouldn't recomend you getting a mini as it doesn't have that much space. just search for a Dell Laptop and you can also get them in different colours to fit your need! Happy helping :)
Answer 3 :

Voltage converter or transformer for UK laptop in Ecuador?

Voltage converter or transformer for UK laptop in Ecuador?
On 22nd August, I'm going out to Ecuador and am considering taking my laptop with me. As in the UK we use 220-240 v and in Ecuador they use 127 v , I've heard I need some kind of voltage converter or transformer. Does anyone have any tips? Can I buy these at Argos? I can't seem to find any on their website. Thanks so much! Oh you're right! I just looked and it even says that on my laptop. Thanks! :)

Answer 1 :
Your laptop power adaptor is auto sensing 100 - 240 volts AC, 50 / 60 Hz so there is no worry on account of voltage & herz differences laptops are meant for operating globally Only issue you will face is the plug / socket in all probability will be shaped different You need a simple wall plug adapter, best bought in country you are visiting viz. Ecuador Many shops at the airport itself will be stocking it, else shops in city will sell it for cheaper

Yes of course. But you have to reconfigure your wireless settings once you move to a different location. It would be best to establish a new wireless connection. Otherwise, your laptop will always be trying to connect to your US wireless network (which is no longer acessible because wifi range is very limited).
