Anyone know how to get an American Sony vaio laptop to Italy? ?
The only laptops available in Italy use an Italian keyboard, but I need one with an American keyboard. I tried Sony, Amazon, Ebay (only with older models), and much more. But I just can't find a Vaio w/american keyboard......

Order from an american company who will ship overseas. Or buy an Italian one and buy a replacement US keyboard for it on ebay

Is your laptop able to detect the network? Does it see the SSID?

Hello, I will try my best to help you , as i have a good knowledge in this area. Basically you may have the Wi-fi spot but you do not have the WEP codes (Wep basically is a pin code that is used to stop people accessing the wireless internet for free) A good example is that if you have internet in your house that is wireless a neighbour may use it taking up your download speed and allowance, so thats why WEP's are used to protect this. The best possible way you can connect to the internet is probly through the phone connection in the place your staying but you may have to contact an ISP (Internet Service Provider) such as; BT, Sky, NTl or aol. these will have technical support which will be able to help you more. Hope this helps you a little Good luck x If you have anymore questions do not hesitate to email me : ashmed_bale@yahoo.co.uk

Normally at hotspots, there is an encryption key added to secure the data and prevent outsiders reading it. The owner of a hotspot can normally tell you the key. Also some ISPs hold arrangements with others to allow roaming. The best thing would have been to speak to your provider over the pond, the may have had info for this. At your hotel there may be a connection, either wireless or wired, but you need to ask the management. Internet cafes will normally offer a service.

A friend of mine had the same problem bringing her laptop from Italy to the US; she brought her pc in a shop and for 30 $ they solved their problem: an "automatic search" option wasn't set properly. Of course I can't know if you share her same problem. As for xDSL, speed and reliability vary according to where you are; generally, now speed is at least 4 Mbit/sec in theory, and 1-2 Mbit for real. If the service provider of your choice do cover your place by its own, then minimum would be 8 Mbit/sec (again, in theory), which is ADSL limit. Somewhere ADSL2 new standard is available, speed is up to 24 Mbit/sec. Fastweb offer optic fiber connection, the fastest available, but in main cities (and sometimes nearby towns) only. Currently, Telecom Italia (if you're in Italy sure you're hearing news from the media these days) is the only one which can offer direct service all around Italy; other ones (Wind, Tiscali, etc) just in some parts of the Country, while everywhere else they do through Telecom, hence slower speed, generally

Do I need a power inverter to use my Dell Inspiron 6000 laptop in Italy or can I simply use plug adapters

Do I need a power inverter to use my Dell Inspiron 6000 laptop in Italy or can I simply use plug adapters?
Actually, I am from the US. I ~think~ my laptop's charger handles the conversion, but need to be absolutely sure.

Assuming you're in the UK (220-240V), if you are plugging into the mains in Italy all you need is an adapter plug. EDIT: I found this site with a few tips for US citizens: http://moving2italy2.blogspot.com/2007/07/info-on-traveling-with-your-laptop-to.html
