The power supply that comes with the laptop should accept 230 V@50 Hz as well as US voltage/current, so you do not need a voltage converter. You can check the label on the power supply to verify this. You will only need the plug adapter that converts from the US style two flat prongs to the European two round prongs for the countries you've listed. I've used my laptops in all of these countries with no problems. If you go to the UK, you will need a different plug adapter - they're widely available and relatively inexpensive.

All AC adapters for dell XPS notebooks have a multiple power input from 100-240 volts. You just need a plug adapter to fit it in the wall outlet (type C of attached link) which is commonly used in continental europe for appliances not requiring grounding.

just need a plug to fit European outlets. That little box on the cable converts it all, you don't need a special adapter

What is the best site for ordering computer hardware online in Europe? Specifically in Berlin, Germany

What is the best site for ordering computer hardware online in Europe? Specifically in Berlin, Germany?
I am looking for a DVD burner for a laptop, and they don't seem to sell them in stores here. Newegg only ships to the U.S., and Ebay doesn't have the security to return it if it doesn't work.

Before you give up hope I suggest you try Saturn or MediaMarkt. They are sort of like the "Best Buy" of Germany. :-) (Actual stores, not web sites.) I have a lot fo friends who live in Germany and order DVDs and the such from Amazon.com. I just did a quick search there and they sell DVD burners. So that may also be a viable option for you. I believe they ship globally

Cost of Parceling (Laptop) from Germany to Delhi,India

Cost of Parceling (Laptop) from Germany to Delhi,India?
I have a personal package to be delivered from KOELN,DE to New Delhi,India. The package contains a Laptop. The dimensions are as follows : 36cm x 34cm x 8cm The weight of the package is : 3.2 kgs The price of the item contained in the package is 1497 €. I have been to a local DHL outlet in Germany and had asked the cost of the delivery, and it was around 63 €. But I wasn't given any information about the duty tax and other price details. Since it is a personal package, will I be charged duty taxes ? If so, then how much? And How exactly will I be paying for the Duty taxes? Will it be charged on the sender or the receiver?Will it be a one time payment, "63 € + Extra Charges(Duty Tax)" for the sender? Also will it be helpful if it is sent as a Gift ? Need a detailed information as to how this works.

If you bought the laptop in Germany you already paid taxes. Germany does not charge any exit duty if there is any duty to pay that will be entry duty in India. Usually the customs have to be paid be the person who is receiving the package and can not be paid in advance.
2 :
If you export the lap you can ask for return of German taxes
