If I buy Laptop in Germany....what language will Windows and keyboard have

If I buy Laptop in Germany....what language will Windows and keyboard have?
I was thinking to buy HP laptop in Germany, the link: http://h10010.www1.hp.com/wwpc/de/de/ho/WF06b/321957-321957-3329744-64354-64354-3999447-4040232.html So the questions is about language...maybe there is said something on their web site but unfortunately i don't know German enough to understand everything.

I know this is a tricky one. German. There is a slight workaround to this. If it is vista, there are language packs that can be downloaded and installed. You can change the language to english, or japanese even if you wish. However the keyboard will still be in german. There is one other problem. The DVD drive will be set up to use the german region so you will not be able to play american (or out of german region) DVDs. This can be changed once and once only.

Well it depends. Most computers are not actually manufactured in the countries there designed in. For example, my english laptop in Australia was manufactured in China. Perhaps you should check for the laptop on other sites to see if you can find it on a website in your language.

Well you would get the laptop in English. Second of all if you want to buy then I think you should go for a refurbished laptop which will be really good and comes in great condition too Plus these are some good website links

European power is based on a two (sometimes three) prong outlet...The plug is similar to North American, but has round prongs rather than blades... European power is also higher voltage (220-240V)than the US (110-120V), so only use items with a transformer that can handle this voltage... Below are links so you can see what they look like... http://www.walkabouttravelgear.com/electg.htm?gclid=CJenv9HbzpQCFQVfFQodVSGYkA Look at items #400 and #4G...These are the two you will need for Germany...Adapters can be found pretty much anywhere including stationary stores, hardware stores and at the airport...Some European hotels even have them built in to the outlets...The entire kits shouldn't cost over $20 (US)... Happy Traveling...

Open this link. Scroll down to look for Germany. Click the letter opposite the country. http://www.kropla.com/electric2.htm

If you are staying in a decent hotel, the front desk with have the adapters, just ask them for it and they will give it you to use at no charge. I was recently in Amman, Jordan, the hotels provided the adapters

How is life in Germany and as a whole in Europe as compared to America

How is life in Germany and as a whole in Europe as compared to America?
Is it that owing an independent home ( not apartment ) in Europe is difficult or is it that most Europeans live in apartments? I mean statistics show that European's salaries just come mext to Americans, but taxes in Europe are so high that Europeans cant spend much as their American counterparts? So what does this mean? Does it mean that an Ipod which costs $250 in Us would cost $300 in Europe, are the groceries there too expensive? Is it that Europeans cant buy as many cars as Americans because they are just too expensive? Also is it that European homes dont have as much PC's and laptops as Americans? It would be great if anyone can provide information about this topic? I would really like to know the real ground situation. Any links that would help me understand the economies and lifestyle of Europeans ( everyone, Germans, French, Dutch etc. ). Thanks.

Generally speaking, we have more taxes, but then we don't have to pay health insurance or student loan debts, so after all I don't think that it makes such a huge difference. Housing is very expensive, due to high demand and lack of space, it is more difficult to get a mortgage and rates are higher, but apartments are preferred also for cultural reasons, even if semi-detached houses are gaining popularity. We actually like being close together, and most people would find living with no one next door sort of scary. Living in an independent house means living far from the city centre, with limited or no access to public transport system, far from shops, cultural activities and places where you can meet friends.. The city centre is where life is. Gasoline price is very high and traffic is a nightmare, so the closer to the city centre the better: in fact apartments there can cost even more than an independent house. If you have the money you get a central apartment, and an independent house in the country/mountains for holydays and weekends. Much higher gasoline price, again lack of space and small streets - so smaller cars. Groceries are more expensive: transport costs, and fewer large supermakets, mostly local groceries shops, because cities are already so dense in population and buildings. But I still can't see why at my local supermarket peaches produced in the nearby area costed thrice the peaches from the same area, at a small groceries shop, in a far away Alps tourist location (that is, generally more expensive)
