Do I need a power converter for my HP Pavilliondv600 laptop to use it in Italy?
I know the power supply is different in Italy (dc not ac) and I don't want my laptop to burnout. What can I buy and where do I go to get it? Thank you!

How can I get connect to the internet from my laptop when I'm far from any town, in Italy?
I have an isolated place in Italy. I have a laptop and a cellphone, is there some fancy new gadget I can use to connect or am I missing something?

i brought my laptop with me when i went to italy. it is safe i would say.but it depends on how you keep it.unless you're planning on bringing your laptop around with you,you should lock it in your suitcase for safe keeping.that was what i did. and most of the hotels i stayed at did not offer free wireless. they charged for wireless.
2 :
Yes, it's safe here with your laptop. I have several of them here and take one sometimes when I'm out exploring. I've never had a problem in a hotel with having anything stolen - either here in Italy or elsewhere in Europe. I would not leave it unattended in a train or a hostel though, but that has nothing to do with Italy. It's just general prudence no matter where you are.

I mean...and people is even here to answers to you in a polite way? Is hard for me even to find in this question an hint of funny...how come people like you dont feel any form of SHAME to post so INSULTING questions toward a whole population and nation that in the worst of the probability is much much much much SAFER and more more more more CIVILIZATED that the one where you come from? Really dont you feel embarassed to ask a thing like this? What do you expect people would reply to you guess if I start to ask if is dangerous to go to Uk or Us or i would find a bunch of muss murders, guns lovers, tosser childhood with the hobby of shoot each other ...would you find it a bit insulting dont you? And why the hell in Italy in your little limitated and RACIST brain should be MORE thiefs that in any part OF THIS WORLD??? Would you post a so insulting question in the Us or Uk answers? I dont think so...would you like to hear, to satisfy your racism that in Italy there are more CRIME and more THIEFS than anywhere else?? Unfortunatly i have to reply NO there arent more of those here!! And yes you would find pickpockets darling but like in any other place of the world and unfortunatly for us, the most of those people are IMMIGRANTS (we received all the scums from those countries with the ammission of their own nation so I am not telling nothing "strange") that are doing that kind of things!! At least we havent got drunk and stoned knakers or chavs like the one you got there... or you want export them in our civilizated country? NO THANXS To end this answer I have to say that people like you so racist are very deludent, now you can even report me if you want but you are a shame and in any other yahoo answers (less than less in the Us or Uk) they would allow you to be so INSULTING with a whole country!!!

hell no somebody might steal it

I travel to Italy very often, and travel through the US very often. I had my laptop stolen twice: both times it was in the US. I don't know what you mean by "stealing things in Italy". Petty crime rates in the US and Italy are pretty much the same.
6 :
"and can someone explain to me whats the deal with stealing things in italy?" In Italy usually assholes get robbed much more than others, so you should stay at home.
7 :
Don't come in Italy we are famous for stealing laptops,specially Apple ones.
8 :
The problem with bringing a laptop is lugging it around. Rarely is internet free in Europe so if there is a internet cafe that's convenient you might be better off. If you do bring your laptop make sure it's packed safely so it doesn't get smacked around; bring a European power adapter plug (see link); and bring a lock for it (see other link) so you can lock it up in your room while you go out. In general "stealing" in Italy is like any other metropolitan area - there are criminals and people who prey on disoriented tourists. In addition, Italy does have a Gypsy (Roma) culture that has a tradition of sneaky street theft. Just be careful and don't carry as little as possible (money, cameras, etc.)
9 :
Skip Italy, everything gets stolen. What could you possibly need to carry a computer around for?
10 :
You know what? I was born in the US and i have alway been ashamed of it. I like to consider myself a victim of immigration. Unfortunalty the american passport is like a tatoo that means shame to me. And not thanks to idiots like you I am more embarresed to carry theUS passport. Do Italy a favor and stay home and use your USDs as a suppository! Go somewhere like Florida maybe with any luck a hungry shark will bite you and eat your god damn laptop. TESTA DI MERDA !
11 :
i think , no issue to bring laptops there.. remember to keep it with you or put it in room safe, if you dont need to bring out..
12 :
We travelled all over when we lived in Italy. My husband brought his computer everywhere we went and never had it stolen. Many nicer hotels have a safe in the room that you can leave things in if you are worried. Honestly, I felt safer from violent crime in Italy than I do in the states. However, it is well-known that there is a lot of pick-pocketing and that sort of thing in *all* large cities around the world. Use common sense. You wouldn't leave your laptop on a park bench or restaurant table here unsupervised. Don't do it there, either. Also, remember that you will need converters and adapters to be able to plug your computer in. Because the power supply is higher, you can fry your computer if you don't have the correct converter and adapter. (Not just the little plug adapter - a converter makes the electricity that comes out a safe level for your computer. You need to plug your computer into one for re-charging your batteries) Go to a computer store or other electronics store with knowledgable people who can help you get the right one for your needs. Enjoy your trip.

hi, i am italian and i live in italy. i dont know what ideas you have of italy but maybe you should go to some website to check out the criminal rates and find out if they are by any chance actually higher than in your own country. you are not going to south africa, but only to italy.
14 :
darling, your question is simply damn, and a beautiful country like Italy can go by without visitors like you. We are not crime free, but not ridden like your country, maybe our country is much safer in crime infested streets than in some of your churches or schools. Did I open a can of worms, so be it
