Hi all,
First of all I am sorry if this has been posted before. I did search and couldn't find anything.
I am off to New York for a long weekend, leaving on 10th Nov back on the 14th. I currently live in London. I am thinking that while I am there I could pick up a new Apple Laptop, yet to decide which one.
What I would like to know is what I would have to do when I get it back to the UK?
I know that I would need a new power adaptor as it is a different plug socket. However the things that concern me are
1. If it went wrong is the warranty international or would I have trouble getting Apple UK to do anything.
2. Is the OS international? Can I tell te computer that I am in the UK and it would be OK or would I have to reinstall?
3. When I come into the UK and declare to customs that I have brought in something more valuable than the limit what do I get charged? VAT? Import duty? How much does this equate to?
Anything else that I need to know?
All help gratefully recieved.
