yes you can, but before you go find out where in calabria there is a wifi hotspot but i would say that if you are going to a holiday resort it is more than likely that there will be a hotspot

Ask your hotel! They may have a service

I'm going backpacking in France and Italy this summer - should I bring my laptop
I'm going backpacking in France and Italy this summer - should I bring my laptop?
Or will the laptop just become something to worry about that weighs down my pack?

It will only get stolen. Why do you need it? Check your email when you pass a town with an Internet cafe.

Eh. 4 the plain maybe. but ur going to see the sights and u dont need a laptop. take pictures. have fun... i'll be in Italy too this summer!
3 :
if you do then there is a chance it will get stolen but at the same time you can stay connected with ur friends it depends on how long youll b gone
4 :
no, dont bring it , just dead weight and worry
5 :
Basically, I agree with all the other answerers -- except that I took mine with me on a camping trip to France last year, because I was taking lots of photos and I wanted to download and review them as I went. But you could always upload them to a Photobucket account from an internet cafe, assuming you bring your camera's USB cable... I also did watch films tucked up in my tent at night, which was neat, but that's not really a good enough excuse on its own, is it? =D All in all, I vote for leaving the laptop at home: it'll weigh on your mind as much as on your back.

Leave it at home. Would you bring a portable tv to the Grand Canyon

Do I need a laptop converter for Italy
Do I need a laptop converter for Italy?
Hello. I have a Dell 10v that I'm planning to take to Italy with me. I do not know though if I just need a plug adapter or an actual voltage converter for this trip. http://www.amazon.com/Sima-SIP-3-Ultimate-International-Adapter/dp/B0009EXVFI/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top Or http://www.amazon.com/Notebook-Adapter-Charger-Inspiron-Laptops/dp/B002QDJBBI/ref=sr_1_17?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1276117920&sr=1-17 Thanks!

I dunna no gotta a laptop, but in Italy they use a strange adaptor with two spins, it looks like an electric gun like our famous taser

The plug adapter shown in the 1st link allows you to plug devices made for the US market into the wall sockets here in Italy and other places in Europe. You'll need that. The 2nd link is just the power supply for the laptop which you need regardless of where you use the laptop (US or Europe) - you do not need a special one of these for Europe though. The same one you use in the US will work as long as you have the plug adapter. The point of the plug adapter is to convert the plug from the flat pins used in US outlets to the round pins used here. Check the label of the Notebook adapter. It will say something like Input: 100- 240 VAC 50/60 Hz. That tells you it is made to work either with the US electrical system or the system here in Europe. Some devices are not made to work in both places and those will need a voltage converter in order to work here. Most modern electronic things do support both though - camera chargers, cell phone, chargers, IPOD chargers, laptops, ... Other things like electric shavers or hair dryers may not be designed to work in both places though. I have several laptops and camera chargers that were purchased in the US here and have never needed more than the plug adaptor (i.e., I don't need a separate voltage converter to go from the US 100 V to the European 220 V)
