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
Answer 4 :
Yes, all you need to do is a get all in one adapter that will let you plug it into the UK.
Answer 5 :
yes it will

Laptop problem - possibly 3 mobile broadband related
UK laptop problem - possibly 3 mobile broadband related?
I had to reformat my hard drive and reinstall windows vista from the recovery partition and now when I have the 3 mobile broadband dongle plugged into any usb port when I click 'computer' to show the drives, the computer shows the dongle as being in the DVD drive, which is impossible and shows the DVD drive as 'removable disk' (a usb port) When I unplug the 3 dongle the only drives it shows are the C drive (hard disk drive) and D drive (recovery partition on hard disk drive). I therefore have no useable DVD drive. Any suggestions ? Should I sell the laptop ? and mention the problem when I sell it / or not ?

Answer 1 :
That's a problem in installation. Reinstall your windows and if still problem persists call to the customer care before thinking to sell it

Laptop repairs, can anyone help?
(UK) laptop repairs, can anyone help?
i have a samsung r510 witch came with a 3 mobile broadband deal for free, and after just over a year i am having troubles, where some of the keys are sticking and the shift key wont spring back up. I have tried hoovering the keyboard to get any dirt from underneath but in doing so all i managed to do was suck up the W key witch then i had to retrieve and put back. I have tried repairing the little mechanisms under the shift key but nothing is working. will the warranty include the keyboard? and will the warranty still be in place, as i got the laptop in 11th of september 2008? many thanks, Dave.

Answer 1 :
I would certainly call Samsung tech support or check online to see what the warranty is/was on the computer. Most computer manufacturers only cover the computer for the first year unless you buy an extended warranty. If the computer is still covered under warranty then you can get the keyboard fixed through the manufacture. If the warranty has expired if you give these guys a ring they will probably be able to help you: http://www.digicare.co.uk/ I hear they are responsible for most sammy laptop repairs in the uk
