Do I need a converter or something in order to charge my Laptop in Spain (Europe)?
I'm going to go to Spain in a few days and I wanted to know if I'm gonna need something because their electricity or power is different to ours, so, what do I need to charge my Laptop over there? Thanks

The first thing to double check is that your laptop's power adapter says something like: Input: 110v-230v AC The upper limit must be at least 220 and can be higher (e.g. 230, 240). If that checks out, then all you need is a prong adapter that will change the prong configuration from classic US style to European style. You can pick these up fairly cheaply at the airport.

Si preguntaras a los españoles qué necesitas, terminarÃas antes. Cuidado con los adaptadores de red que compres o te vendan, que en europa hay diferentes modelos de enchufes. La red es igual, eso sÃ. Y si precisas info sobre tu visita a estas tierras, lo que necesites.

In Spain the power is between 110v. and 220 v. usually. Have a nice travel. See you. So long.

En toda Europa el voltaje es de 220 Volts, por lo cual, en el eliminador o regulador de tu compu deberás ver cuál es la capacidad de éste. Adquiere también una clavija de patas redondas que pueda insertarse al de patas planas que seguramente tendrá tu compu.

usually is 230 v in europe, sent adaptors of 110v to 230v

There are many computer shops... In Marbella you have the department store EL CORTE INGLES in Puerto Banus, they have a good choice, and you have the backup of their guarantee. In Gibraltar, you have less expensive prices (duty free shops) but on exit to Spain, you will probably have to pay the duty, so it may not be worth your while.. There is also "LA CAÑADA" Shopping center in Marbella . There you have a BOULANGER shop, good for computers, I got my last HP printer there... The FNAC has a good assortment of computers also. And the ALCAMPO hypermarket in the same mall might also be worth looking into. Check the prices at all three, than choose your best bet. You can take a stroll to all of them in the Shopping Center in less than a half hour. Boulanger is near the main entrance outside the mall. The Alcampo is in the center, and the FNAC is at the far end over the the underground parking area. I'm not well acquainted with Algeciras. But there is also a mall there with a CARREFOUR hypermarket, you could probably find similar shops in or around it. Or you could look for INFORMATICA in the yellow pages (paginas amarillas.es) Good luck...Hope you find what you are looking for

Check the site of your laptop's vendor to see what the specifications are and if they sell an adaptor for overseas. Once you get the adaptor part number, you can do a web search and see if you can get a better price on it.
2 :
You can get Foreign Travel Plug Adapters at Circuit City or some place like that. They are not very expensive $10 - $20. They include all of the different adapters for different countries

How could I watch a film bought in America in a laptop bought in Spain. Is there any software for this
How could I watch a film bought in America in a laptop bought in Spain. Is there any software for this?
It looks like systems vary depending on the geographical area. I have tried to change the menu provided by windows, but the computer says that "only the administrator can change the geographical area". I would like to know if there is any software I could download from the internet, or if there is any other solution I could try. Many thanks!

AnyDVD.........You can change the regonal code.

I think you have to change like, the region or something. maybe you just have to get a laptop from spain?

Hi! I presume this is a DVD. DVDs are split into geographical areas... 9 of them. Spain. as the entire Europe, is located in one area. USA is in another area. The DVD might not play since the areas ar not the same... Try using ASSUS DVD player... it might work :) Good luck!

I guess you are trying to play a DVD b'cos only in that case you face this issues. This is done to prevent DVD piracy. You can use something like power DVD or the windows media player 11 but there is a regionalisation option in which you need to select the default country. It happens a lot of times that lot of DVD's wont play saying that there is a regionalisation mismatch and the most strange thing about this is that you can only change it 5 times.
5 :
Pls check the System type and name and search for it on the net to get adequet info
6 :
Download DVDShrink, make a security copy of the DVD with it and play it, it will work for sure
