Can I ship a laptop to France and will I be able to use it there?
Is it legal to ship a Dell Inspiron 600m laptop via Federal Express to France from the United states? I've heard that there are regulations about exporting technology, but I would think that France would have caught up to my five year-old computer by now. Also, assuming it is legal to ship the laptop there, will I be able to use it given the differences in power outlets? Would I just need a different external adapter, or would I need a new internal power supply too? Bonus: If you link me to somewhere where I can buy any new parts that I would need to use my laptop in France, I will be very likely select your answer.

Answer 1 :
Most power supplies are dual voltage so all you need is the outlet adapter which you can get at most electronic stores or even wal-mart. Just look on the power supply and if it says input 100-240v (or thereabouts) then you're ok. For personal use, you can take it with you to France. You can't export for resale purposes.
