I'm really serious about this, so please, if you have any ideas at all, please share them, cuz I don't even know where to begin.
I wanted to get a laptop for someone in Russia, Siberia to be exact, Novosibirsk is the city. She already has one, but it's fairly outdated, and I think it has some faulty hardware, as her IT department has checked it out several times. I was hoping for Windows 7 and thought about Dell, but all their new laptops have Windows 8. I don't even know Windows 8 myself yet and she has Windows XP.
I can read very little Russian, but this isn't a problem since most Russian websites support Google Translate or vice versa. I just don't really know where I should go. I almost bought her a Dell Inspiron 15R last night, and then I realized it would be a pain for her if I gave her a wall outlet converter to bring that with her wherever she went. Also, I know that with desktop towers, there's the switch on the back that switches it from 115 volts to whatever the other option is. I don't know if laptops do this. And I think it may be easier on her if I just got her a laptop that already has that two round prong wall outlet cable for Europe and Eastern Europe, rather than provide her with a converter from USA to Eastern Europe.
Any info at all, like perhaps websites that I should look at, would be of great help. I looked up Russian laptop computer websites in Bing, but got nothing. All I got were a bunch of links to websites selling Russian keyboards for laptops.
Thanks so much and have wonderful holidays, whether or not you celebrate.
