Laptop questions about going to Scotland
A client of mine is thinking of taking an extended trip to Scotland. I'm advising her on a laptop to buy. I think a lightweight Dell latitude D420 would be good. I just want to make doubly sure that the existing power supply would work, only adding a plug adapter. Here are the specs of the three possible power supplies:
65 watt Adapter 90 watt Adapter Slim Auto/Air/AC
Power Adapter (65 watt)
Input Voltage 90-135 VAC / VAC90-135 VAC / VAC100-240 VAC @ 50/60 Hz;
164-265 164-265 DC: 11-16 VDC, 8 A
Additional cost: none $19 $69
She is not rich by any means. If all three work, is there any reason to spend the additional $19 or $69?
Then theres the choice of wi-fi cards. On this model she can get an a/g dual band card for an additional $19. Theres no N option. Is this worth $19 more?
Final question, does anyone know if fast Internet is generally available in Scotland?
Thanks,
Al
