Apple Mac .....?
Submitted by alan h on Tue, 07/13/2010 - 13:14In reply to A newbie all over again! by Annec
According to http://www.romebuddy.com/givesadvice/computers4.html “Apple Macintosh dealers often tend to be small, friendly, caring, family affairs. FBM in Via Flaminia [in Rome] certainly is – That’s where I bought my Mac, and a major factor in buying a Mac and buying it from FBM was because they were able to supply it to me with the English Operating System pre-installed. They also keep English versions of most popular Mac applications in stock, and they're sales people also speak good English, so communication isn't a problem. The other advantage of this store is that it's in central Rome, so you won't have to travel miles to get to it.”

Hi. I'm new here but maybe I can offer some help. Any PC using Windows format bought in Italy will have an Italian OS, fine if your fluent in Italian if not steer clear. Macs work on a different system but English OS widely available, but do not get a Mac if you want to run popular sofware, and are unfamiliar with how Mac systems work. Your best bet would be to get one delivered to a UK address and shipped over here or try Amazon, but I'm not sure about them selling PC/Laptops to anywhere outside UK. Dell etc will only supply English OS to either UK or USA. As they say 'You Pays yer Money....etc'

I did a quick google along the lines of "UK Computer delivery italy" and found things such as http://www.powerc.com/uk/gp/pc%20delivery%20to%20europe/1/pg/about.eu-custom-pc who seem to deliver - [there were others - this is just an example]

you can buy an apple on line at the apple shop and its delivered in 2 days to your door to your spec. Otherwise you can buy a pc from PCs R US and just put on an English OS - get Windows 7 its a million times better than Vista.

Sorry, don't know if they sell Mac's but www.laptopsdirect.co.uk ship to Italy. I have bought 2 laptops from them and had them delivered here. You will need to buy from a UK company if you want the OS (Windows or Mac) in English. Be careful about installing a different OS during the laptop warranty period as it often invalidates the warranty.

tb wrote: "Dell etc will only supply English OS to either UK or USA." Or Australia! I was coming up for a new machine about the time I came here, and realized I had to get one in Oz and ship it here. Expensive, and I will learn Italian, but no way would I have been ready to cope with an Italian OS in time to start working!

If you're in Civi, there's a place called Comet where our friends bought a Mac (apparently the ultimate PC upgrade). Looks good and works well. Hope you find what you're looking for.

I've only owned two…
Submitted by fersadilala on Sat, 01/13/2024 - 11:06I've only owned two computers in my life. First stationary and the very first. I recently finally bought myself a MacBook. I even encountered a small problem, I didn’t know how to stop mac from sleeping, I found information https://setapp.com/how-to/how-to-stop-mac-from-sleeping here later. there is still a lot to learn. Because the operating system is now completely different. But it's cool, I'm happy with everything so far.
