Would a laptop from the Philippines work in the U.K


Would a laptop from the Philippines work in the U.K?
My father is going to sent a laptop over with my brother for college work etc, but it MUST be wireless and I MUST be able to play DVDs and CDs etc on it, like will it be 100% suitable for use over here in the U.K? I'm doing college work so I need to be able to access online and emails. I also need to be able to play revision CDs on it, and be able to watch DVDs on it that will be helpful to my course. Its for college so iTunes and MSN Messenger aren't needed. Also, I have only ever had Windows, will a laptop from the Philippines have Windows, or some other operating system? Could it play copies, or can no laptop play copies, I've never had one, just stuck to computers.

Yes, the only differences between the Phillipines laptop and a UK laptop are: 1) Power plug is different shape, but you can buy a plug adaptor (no converter needed, the power supply can adjust to the voltage itself) 2) Might have Philipino-language Windows installed. You can just change this back to English in the language settings.

Yes. The laptop would work absolutely fine. But you might need a universal power plug to connect your laptop charger to electricity. This you can buy at any electricity shop. The only thing you might need to do (though even without that you would be able to do all your work), is to change Region and Language Setting. But that is very easy to do. :)

Laptop from Philippines are actually working anywhere in the world. :D Laptop from Philippines has a complete Operating system and softwares. It has wireless card for internet. The best way is to ask your father about the specs of a laptop that he is going to send.
