Title: UK PURCHASED COMPUTER FOR USE IN NEW ZEALAND
Post by: colsyn01 on February 11, 2011, 02:17:42 AM

Hi, Can anyone tell me if there are any pitfalls in purchasing a new Dell laptop here in the UK for use in New Zealand, apart from the plug and probably the warranty.

I'm not sure about added expenses when you claim the laptop at customs, but being in a different country shouldn't affect the warranty - I suggest contacting Dell to make sure though.

computers only speak binary anyway, so it's a given they don't speak any persons language.

The coriolis force/effect has no effect on the direction water spins when going down a drain; or more precisely, it only can in very well controlled environments.

Since nobody has asked, why not wait till you get to New Zealand to buy the computer?
