Re: using a Thinkpad in Europe

I regularly travel overseas. As longs as your power supply supports 220VAC and you have the correct plug adaptor, you will be fine.

As for the wireless, I have used wireless access points in no fewer than 30 different places. All worked with no issues using my standard wireless card built into my US laptop.

I lived in Germany for three months back in 2005. Europe is a wonderful place. However, electronics seem to always be more expensive over there than here in the US. It would be best if she might need something to buy it over here and bring it with her.

I would really recommend that she bring a second power supply, since it might be difficult to find one quickly and cheaply over there, plus it easier to leave one at home in her dorm/apartment, and the other to keep in her laptop bag.

Tell her good luck, and make sure she takes lots of pictures.
