[topr8]

am going on a long trip to buenos aires,

and am going to do some writing there, anyone know the prices of laptops there?

i'm thinking of buying a new one, so should i buy one before i go or would it be ok to wait until i'm there?

Would it work still if bought in Argentina? Im ean teh Voltage system etc and software problems.

ah yes, but mostly they work through an adaptor anyway don't they?

the software could be an issue i think though, especially all this talk of windows vista on different continents

Electronics/computer prices are the same or higher than in the US/UK. All the savings of Argentina is in the food/restaurants (great quality and cheap!), rent (to a lesser extent) and other domestic produced products. Imported products cost the same or more.

btw, I'm an American who lived in Buenos Aires for 9 months a couple years ago. Feel free to ping me with any other questions about Buenos Aires.

I had a great time and ran my business from down there from an apartment. I miss it already....You'll enjoy it I'm sure!

Oh yeah... and you just need an adaptor. You can find out what adaptor you need online. I don't know what software problems you are talking about...in any event I didn't have software problems when I was down there, although I know nothing about Vista.
