How many watts in a voltage converter do I need to run an all-in-one Dell printer in France?
Going to spend one year there and taking my laptop and my printer. Thanks for your help.

Hi Michelle, It should be on your printer. Look right above the the electrical cord, it will say 32w, 16w, 12w or similar. So 100 watts should be more than sufficient, since you wont use all 3 application at the same time. Loads of fun in France!

do i need some kind of plan for my laptop to use wifi in europe?
I'm going to Ireland, UK and France next month...and someone was mentioning data plans for your LAPTOP...do i really need that? In my books it said that there are plenty of wifi spots in cafes and hostels and stuff like that in europe...can't i just connect to those providers? Or do i need some kind of international internet plan? Couldn't reach anyone who could answer me on this.

You don't need a data plan on your laptop to connect to free public WiFi in EU. If you were going to try to use your own internet connection through Xfire or some other wireless company, then you would need one.

Laptops and internet service in France.
Laptops and internet service in France?
Well I live in California and I was wondering if I took my laptop with me to France, would it be possible that I will be able to get a connection from, perhaps, a local cafe? Or even in someone's home if they have internet service? Something like getting service in a Starbucks. I really hope that its possible that I would be able to get connection, but if I dont I'll understand because the whole French internet connection thing might be different than in the US. Anybody has any experiences with an issue like this?

What type of converter/adaptor plug kit do I need for a laptop computer in France
What type of converter/adaptor plug kit do I need for a laptop computer in France?
I'm wanting to bring my laptop on my trip to Paris France and I'm a little confused about the Converter/Adaptor Plug Kit for overseas travel. The ones I see are a 1600 watt converter and says good for small appliances. Will these work for a laptop (it's a gateway tablet laptop) or do I need some thing else, and if I need some thing else where do I find it??? Thanks all for your help!!!!!

Answer 1 :
You only need an adapter for a laptop. Your laptop will automatically convert and if you use a converter in addition your laptop will probably fry. My cousin attempted to use a converter with her laptop and it started smoking. I studied abroad over there for a semester and everyone in my group just used the adapter and we were fine. You just need a western EU adapter for France because most of Europe uses the same thing now. Unless you have a mac. They sell special adapter's on their website for those computers. If you plan on using any other plug-in item, bring the converter.
Answer 2 :
You'll only need a "Type E" French 2-pin electrical adapter plug. Most travel adapters for use in Europe should be able to handle French sockets. The laptop's A/C adapter should do the rest, so there's no need for a special converter. To be on the safe side, check if the adapter's input range is up to 220/240V (usually printed on a sticker on the adapter).
