Laptop questions


kelly1966 I need to find out some information for bringing a laptop from Canada to the Middle East. Will it work there? What about wireless? What should we load on it before bringing it there, etc, etc? Any info would be appreciated.
Nick81 Sure it'll work! And you don't need to get any specific software. You can find anything here. Just where are you going exactly? You might want to get a universal adapter as some countries use different standards. For instance, in UAE, Qatar they use the UK standard. But once again you can find adapters here too :P Liban If it works in Canada it will work here.... Most have 220volt capacity also. kelly1966 What about wireless? What do I need for that to work there? Does Skype or Voip work there as well? Liban
Wireless is wireless.... :)
Skype and other VoIP will not work anymore unless you are in a freezone or you bypass the proxy.
Coming to Dubai soon? kelly1966 Great, thanks for all the info :) vicarage Liban, i am not really sure here... skype is working fine outside freezone. In fact smack in the middle of Diera. Nick81 skype, netmeeting work perfectly. They just blocked the Skype website... Liban
You are correct. It is the website thats banned. If you already have it installed on your system you can use it.
