Answer 1 :
If i were in your shoes I would bring my laptop. I'm pretty sure there will be some internet spots in international airports. Not sure about the domestic ones. But either way, I would still bring it just in case. I would keep it tucked away with my clothes when I'm away. Have fun and be safe!
Answer 2 :
Airports, hotels, cafes, restos always have free internet access on WiFi. I am bringing my laptop anywhere I go and I can go online always. Busines and first class may or may not have powerport. Better bring two fully charge batteries. Hotels have safe boxes if you are worried of losing it

Answer 1 :
no she needs a computer to put the music in, how will she listen to music? And i think pod-casts are shows and you have to buy them in iTunes and if you dont have a computer how can u buy podcasts?
Answer 2 :
most podcasts are free. But the previous user was correct, you need a computer in order to use the iPod.
Answer 3 :
she doesnt really need a computer just have her give you all the songs she wants put them on her ipod and thats her gift(you pay for the first songs she wants then after awhile if she wants more she has to send money)

Answer 1 :
JUST BRING A LAPTOP CASE HELLO.
Answer 2 :
I don't think it would break, just get a universal plug, those have regulators that make the power standard to whatever country's end you plug it into.
Answer 3 :
You would have to get a power adapter that would work in Spain otherwise yes when you try to plug in the US adapter it will break.
Answer 4 :
Take your laptop with you, however you will need a voltage converter that will let you use your standard 110V plug in a European 220V outlet.
Answer 5 :
if its a lower voltage than here in the us then ur kinda fine but if its higher i would leave it home
Answer 6 :
It will be okay. I've used my laptop in Europe, Asia and the Americas and it's worked fine. On your power cable, there's an AC Adapter. If you look at the writing on it, you will find and input and and output description. The output will say something like '12.5V - 3.34A'. The input will say '100-240V 1.5A 50/60 Hz'. That means you can plug into any socket within those parameters. Spain is 240v.
Answer 7 :
Yes and no, Europe has different voltages and plugs then the US (I'm assuming you American) but I don't think you can even plug it in to the socket so.... You can get adapters so you can plug it in while overseas.
Answer 8 :
You will need a voltage converter because the voltage in Spain is 230 volts AC. You might not need one though if the "Power Brick" on your laptop's AC charger cord can accept 220/240. Look at the bottom of it for acceptable input voltages

Apple laptop in Europe
Apple laptop in Europe???????
I have the new black apple laptop and have a trip to both France and Spain in July. It says on the charger box thing: AC 100-240 v 50-60Hz 1.5A output 16.5v. Now my question is....can I simply plug this into a socket without shorting the cord and/or my laptop?

Answer 1 :
the plugs are different from the states
Answer 2 :
France and Spain have the same outlets. you need nothing else than a plug converter US-European. you can get it in every electronics store. the voltage in Europe is 230V/50Hz so you can use your charger without a problem.
Answer 3 :
you first need to get the outlet adapters for france and spain. (the shape) You dont need a converter unless the voltage is hight than the 240 limit. Your MacBook will be safe. I used it in China where it is 220 volts!!! Only warning is that the adapter will get hot, but dont worry about it frying up.
Answer 4 :
Your laptop will operate PERFECTLY on the European voltage and frequency (220~240 VAC @50Hz). You should go to a travel store and get a plug adapter only, you won't need a bulky transformer. Your wireless Internet should also work if you're in proximity to a wireless hub.
Answer 5 :
Try radio shack for adapters
