Will an American Laptop with Wi-Fi work to connect to the Internet In Europe? Specifically Ireland?
My friend is visiting from Ireland and wants to purchase a laptop. But he is concerned that the wi-fi will not work in Ireland. Informed users please advise. Obviously he needs to have an ISP in Ireland. But it's the hardware that I'm concerned about.

it should work... the only thing that he might have to worry about is his ac adapter.. the voltage might not be compatible for a US product and he might have to bring a power converter.. i know this because i traveled to israel, spain, and greece and my laptop worked fine i just needed an power converter for my charger

Should work fine, just the AC is different than that of the US of A.. Good travelling...

wifi is different from 3g netowrk!! if your computer has wifi you can connect to any network that is hosted with an access point, with proper username and password. (doesnt matter which country you are at, it is the same idea as connecting your computer using a cable through a router, switch or hub) however 3g network is going thru your telephone company. you must buy a plan! and almost all companies in United States have limit on monthly bandwidth. and for international use they charge pretty high as well! it just like the idea you are using your cell phone, they charge per minute, and for 3g network they charge per MB.

What will I need in Ireland to prove Greek citizenship and therefore work
What will I need in Ireland to prove Greek citizenship and therefore work?
I am getting my Greek citizenship (hopefully -- if anyone has been through or has information about the process please let me know), and hope to move to Ireland soon. I was wondering if I'll need a Greek passport to obtain work in Ireland or if citizenship is enough. I'm also just curious with regards to the citizenship itself... someone from the embassy told me that if I go to Athens and apply in person that it should only take a few days as my father was born there. Anyone done this? Thanks so much!

well, I m not from Greece, but from another EU state working in the UK. But rules are about the same in all EU. You must possess passport, or national identity card in order to work in other EU state. I think you will have to go to Greece in person. If you choose fast service to obtain passport, it may take only a day, provided you have you picture and documents. I m sure you will find all the requirements on the website. If their government website is not in English, try translating it with Google dictionary, it can translate whole internet page, and then you will continue clicking links in ENglish as well. Install Google toolbar, find Dictionary and it ll be easy. This way you ll get all the info you need on what's required for the passport. And don't hesitate make phone calls before you go. Greeks are not very into detail, so it s a good idea to doublecheck avery detail. Call through internet using very well known applicaition, www.voipstunt.com - they offer phone calls to most of EU for free. Other calls may cost from 1c to 4c/min. Good luck becoming EU national!

You may need a power converter but those are easy enough to find.
2 :
iam pretty sure. its not the area! its the connection of the projector
3 :
the only thing you may need a power converter
4 :
No, the Power inputs in America are less than in Ireland.. You will need a converter..
5 :
More than likely unless you have no power outlets or Cercut breakers then..no it won't...otherwise it should..if not get a power converter...(get that from Ebay too if you can't find it in stores)
6 :
I do believe that Ireland uses different power supply but you can go to any electronics store and get a power converter, its about 20$ and your projector will work in ireland! it looks something like this http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?skuId=7847556&st=power&lp=6&type=product&cp=1&id=1142298814750
7 :
No. American game projectors are prohibited by the Vatican from working in Ireland. The Pope didn't get an advance copy of Grand Theft Auto 4 and is mad...(Just kidding) (Of course it will work. You will need an power converter so the plug will fit your outlet. You can get one at an airport or travel shop.)
8 :
Many projectors have built in variable input power supplies now so you may not even need a converter. Check the owners manual when you get the projector. My Dell projector came with several power cords for different countries. The Dell projector's power supply will accept anything from 100 volts ac to 250 volts ac, 50 or 60 hertz. Your projector may be like this too.
