Hi,
I have compared prices and technology, and have decided to buy from the US.
I am in England (UK), and am wondering what would be some disadvantages, etc???
I was looking to buy a TOSHIBA SATELLITE P105-S6014.
I have listed some areas of concern, if anyone with knowledge on this topic would help, that would be great!...
1. Mains power issue (110v AC in US, 230v AC in UK) - Would there be any problems at all? I can buy converter for 230v to 110v.
2. Video ports (RGB & S-Video) - NTSC in US, PAL in Europe. Would laptop output both?3. All other ports (USB, i.LINK, PC card/ExpressCard slots) - Are these universal all around the world?
4. DVD SuperMulti drive - Would this be region free? Would it read/write all CD/DVDs?
5. Any other problems?..
Sorry about all the questions guys, I'm just a bit nervous and anxious about spending a load of money, then only to find out its been a waste in some way(s)!
Many many thanks to anyone who can help!
