Are laptops (Dell) from the UK compatible with software/hardware in the U,S.?  Thanks!?

is the operating system from the u.s.?  if so then yes.  if not, then probably.  hard drives are all the same, but when you install the operating system you get your choice of format types (nfts, fat, fat32 etc)  i'm pretty sure those file formats are all the same in the uk but if not, you might have a problem.  what you might want to worry about is your plug.  will you need an adapter to plug your laptop in to a u.s. outlet?

Apparently other people have been able to successfully install Windows XP on this particular model of ThinkPad series.  There shouldn't be any reason why the BIOS would necessarily be a problem as long as the hardware meets the minimum specifications (which you claim it already does).\n\nOne message thread that I was able to find noted that the Windows XP installation was very smooth; it definitely has better support for plug and play than Windows 98 had.\n\nI've included the link to the message below.

i like this question, suggestion for that is Dell's Inspiron E1505 due to the Core Duo processor - go with the state of the art.\nhttp://www1.us.dell.com/content/products/features.aspx/entnb_e1505?c=us&cs=19&l=en&s=dhs

The biggest issue I've seen with Video card compatability is the user being sold AGP cards when they dont have AGP slots. This can become very frustrating. Make sure you know what format card you need ahead of time.\n\nAs for software compatibility, XP can handle pretty much everything you toss at it, unless the card is extremely old. Even if you have an older card, odds are that the company who made it has created drivers that are publically available that will work on the operating system of your choice. If you are buying a card new off the shelf, just make sure you read the Minimum Requirements tab on the side of the box.\n\nAs for most boards having an AGP slot in the last 3 years, that is COMPLETELY untrue. I know for a fact that Dell computers use boards that never have AGP slots. Do not assume, open up your computer and take a look.

Go to www.microsoft.com they have a site for compatability.\n\nGood Luck :)

if you got the money dell has a xps that will blow the compation away! except for the geeks that know how to build one.

Yes, but you will need to make sure the XP drivers are available..check the Dell website.

To be honest, you really can't go wrong either way.\nI would recommend Dell on the basis of their support web site.  They make it very easy for you to check for updates on your hardware for your computer.\nWe have Dell's at work, and they are good machines.  I also have seen HP's, and I have not been too impressed with them.

Mostly, u have 2 check the type of ram supported by both computers. Most recent compiters support DDRII RAM Technology which supports DDR one RAMs. But if the old memory is SDRAM, it might not be suppoted by the newer laptop. A DDR one RAM will mostly be supported by new ACERs and DELLs.\n\nNext time, if u need help through such an open community, where no one knows any thing bout ur laptop, better specify the laptop model number, or mention the main features such as the RAM type and size.

It depends on what kind of laptop. I know that many Dells at least can't be upgraded. The best thing to do is to go to your computer's manufacturer's website and look up the information there.
