Will Region 1 blu ray disks play on my UK-bought laptop?
There are some blu rays I want to buy that are only released in region 1 format. I bought my laptop in the UK, but I think the same model is also sold in the US. I think it's out of production now, but here is the most similar model on the Sony website http://www.sony.co.uk/product/vn-e-series/vpcee3z0e-bq Anyway. Will region 1 disks play on it? Is there any way of finding out before I buy a disk? Thanks c:

Answer 1 :
The laptop can play blu-rays, but I doubt I wouldnt know, I say try it, there is something called a return policy
Answer 2 :
No, it will not play. All blu ray disc player are coded to the region they are sold to. Only Universal player can play other region disc. This is part of the copy write protection. Hope this will help you out.

IS there need to change Laptop's voltage? I bought it from USA, but live in the UK?
I recieved my laptop from the USA, but I live in the UK/SCotland, and I am not sure if I need to change the voltage from 110V To 220 or 240V, If yes How do I do it, I have a Toshiba laptop. thanks

Answer 1 :
go to Toshiba representative or reseller from UK and tell them this problem. you need to change (or buy another) the charging transformer. the laptop should function anywhere.
Answer 2 :
Read Manual.
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.

UK Laptop help!?
UK Laptop help!?
I am just about to buy a laptop for the first time and I need to be able to use it without actually plugging it in. I have read that there are cellular cards that you just insert into the laptop, but I am not exactly computer savvy and need some help! How do they work? Do I buy one at the same time as the laptop or can I get them from somewhere else? If I buy one of these cards, do I need to have an ISP (as in, pay a rental) and can all laptops accept these cards? I don't mind paying a monthly fee, but I need to able to use the laptop in many different places. Can anyone help a confused lady?? Jake, thank you, that is exactly what I am looking for! Just one more thing, can you tell me the difference between a stick and a modem. Can both be used the same way?

Answer 1 :
Yes you are right go for 3G network check your service provider.
Answer 2 :
In the states you are offered an internet wireless via cell phone service. Like Verizon or Cingular... In UK there must be something similar. Just check cell phone coverage for your areas you want complete mobility. The card is installed internally so you dont need to plug or carry anything.
Answer 3 :
This should get internet where ever you get a phone signal http://tinyurl.com/3my9jm
Answer 4 :
Any new laptop should have the slot for the card. It's called Linksys wireless G or N card. G, I think picks up signals within 400 ft.N, I believe is 1000 ft. With the cards you don't need a ISP, just wirless internet built into your laptop. They work but not always. It will depend on where you are. If you can afford it get a modem that plugs into your USB port and pay the monthly fee. In the USA its basically $50 for the modem and then $59.99 a mo. to verizon. (our phone company) I don't know how you do things there but from what I've heard from my friends abroad it's alot more expensive here than there. The wireless G or N cards work like I said but sometimes I just dont get a signal and I end up searching for one all day like in the commercials lol. Walking around with it lifting it up high. Standing on my head balancing it on my feet. You know. lol Good luck!!

Will I need a converter for my laptop/phone chargers in the UK?
Will I need a converter for my laptop/phone chargers in the UK? The chargers say "Input:100-240V"?
Will I just need an adaptor?

Answer 1 :
I think so.
Answer 2 :
no, but you will need an adapter to plug into the wall outlet. another thing to be aware of is the power frequency, but if your charger will do the 100 the 240V AC, it will probably do the 50 or 60 HZ found in most countries.
Answer 3 :
William P is correct. The chargers either have a selectable switch for 110v / 220v, or are auto-switching. The shape of your plug will be a problem, though, since US plugs use flat blades, and UK plugs use round prongs. Radio Shack is probably the easiest place to get an adapter, although other stores often carry them. Don't let them talk you into buying a converter since your chargers already have that capability. Also, don't worry about the 60hz / 50hz difference as the chargers will be converting them to DC, which is 0 hz, anyway.
