use holy water and make sure it goes through immigration process.
2 :
A macbook purchased in Italy is the exact same as one purchased in the US.
3 :
You can buy if without paying monthly. Don't buy things you can't pay for.
4 :
You just have to change a setting under System Preferences (it's in the Language application). But you do realize odds are that the keyboard is going to be different, and I don't know how hard it is to swap out an Apple keyboard with a standard US keyboard

Do Customs Check Laptops in Venice (VCE) Airport
Do Customs Check Laptops in Venice (VCE) Airport?
Has anyone who has been to venice experienced laptop checks? I'm currently in Germany, I will then be travelling to italy by train and flying through venice to the carribean. I currently have some music and movies that i downloaded and my operating system is not original either. I don't have porn or anything like that. I'm just asking because I got checked in Dubai but I managed to trick them so they didn't give me any fine. Please advise about laptop checks in Venice Thanks Dean

You were unlucky to have been singled out in Dubai, I think you should be ok, generally laptops are scanned to check they are not false shells with things hidden inside

Depends on what needs fixing. I've replaced power jacks on about a dozen laptops. Actually changing any of the other chips would require a specialized shop.

Plug adaptors for Italy? Please help!
Plug adaptors for Italy? Please help!!?
I'm studying abroad and was wondering if anyone could fill me in on plug adapters and voltage converters. I just need to use my laptop and camera while I'm in Italy, not a hair dryer or curler or anything like that. My mom bought me a 50/1600W voltage converter, but I'm not sure it's what I actually need.

I'd suggest waiting until you get there. We were in Italy a year ago. We brought adapters with us, but they weren't the right ones. There are stores that have hundreds of them and they are inexpensive. Take you laptop and camera with you and they will sell you what you need. Have you looked into using Skype while your there? We did and it's a great way to stay in touch with everyone back home. have a wonderful semester.

W stands for Watt, not for Volt, so you should check a different information given on the label. Anyway: look on the transormers of your devices: if they says "50/60 Hz, 120-220 V", you just need a plug adaptor. That's very likable for your camera and laptop, but for appliances like the hairdryer almost for sure you need a voltage converter. Be also careful about the consumption (any device), the Watt part: the W on the label must be not higher than the W on the label of the converter; so if your hairdryer says "2000 W", definitely better not using it with a converter up to 1600 W.

Check the labels on your equipment. Most laptops and digital cameras are voltage compatible anywhere in the world. Italy uses 3 types of plugs. Check out www.kropla.com/worldwide electric guide. This site will tell you everything you need to know about electricity and many other things anywhere in the world. We travel a lot and all our electronics are dual voltage (100-230v 50/60 hz) so we do not need voltage converters. Voltage converters were invented to drive the traveler crazy. It seems you never have the correct one and they are always broken
