Buying a Macbook Pro in the States and using it in the UK

Hi everyone,
I am in America at the moment and was thinking of taking advantage of the exchange rate with the dollar. If I was to buy a MacBook Pro here in America would I have any issues with it in the UK?
I know we have different power supplies, will the MacBook over heat in the UK or does the power adaptor transform the power before it goes into the Mac?
Are there any other problems that I may have with it?
Thanks,
Jamie

I have purchased my MB Pro in Canada, and I have received service in the UK without any problems.
If you decide to seek service at the Apple Store, I strongly recommend Pro Care. I have walked into many Apple Stores worldwide, and I have been treated like a king because of it.

PS
As for power, I would invest in the following.

  • Buying a Macbook pro for the first time and i need your opinion

    Hello everyone! I'm buying a Macbook pro for the first time and i need your opinion. I'm a Web Developer / Graphic Designer, and i need this macbook for my work. Currently i have these 2 options:
    1) Macbook Pro with Retina (13")
    128GB SSD, 2.5GHz Intel i5 Processor, 8GB Ram
    2) Macbook Pro i7 (15")
    Intel  i7 2.6 Processor, 8GB Ram, 750GB HD
    So my dilema is. Do i go for the newest 13" Macbook Pro Retina & SSD drive or do i go for the 15" Macbook Pro i7 non-Retina, non-SSD hard drive?
    Help this first time Macbook buyer (me) to decide which model to choose

    Your 2nd choice

    Intel  i7 2.6 Processor, 8GB Ram, 750GB HD
    is user upgradable. The Retina is not. 
    No matter what for your needs I would max out the 16GB of RAM

  • I would like to buy a Macbook Pro on the site and remove in a store, but I'm from Brazil

    I would like to buy a Macbook Pro on the site and remove in a store, but I'm from Brazil and I will be in Miami next month only. I can already make the purchase and conduct the removal as soon as you arrive? How long the product is in the store? Is there any email I can contact Appe to clarify this doubt?

    in the case of refurbished I can only buy online and mac is sent to the store once confirmed s purchase. in my case going to the U.S. early next month and would like to assure you buy, how long the product will be in the shop so I can pickup?

  • I am going to buy a macbook pro for grade 12, and I need to know wheather I should get a macbook pro or a macbook pro retina. If someone could tell me (in a very simple way) which one is,better for me and why, I would be ever so apprreciative.

    Why do you need a expensive MacBook Pro?
    Your attending high school and unless everyone else is rich also your likely going to be a target by the more poorer students for theft or damage to the machine.
    You could keep it home, but if you need it for class then your exposed again.
    Also at that age your not very careful yet, a MacBook Pro is a expensive and easily damaged machine.
    Unless your made of money and so are others at your school, I would recommned a low profile, just does the job cheap Windows PC.
    If it dies, gets lost, stolen or damaged because of your inexperince handling senstivie electronics then it's no big deal.
    You can buy a Mac later on when your sure you have a need for it, currently there isn't much advantage of owning a Mac compared to a PC, they do just about the same things now, one just looks prettier than the other.
    Since 95% of the world uses Windows PC's your going to have to install Windows on the Mac in order to keep your skills up there or be unemployed, so it's a extra headache and expense.
    good luck

  • If I buy a MacBook pro in the USA would it still work in new zealand?

    I was thinking of buying a MacBook pro in Los Angeles and was wondering if it would work in new Zealand where I live?

    Yes, it will work in EnZed. You would need either a different power cord or a wall outlet adaptor to work with your wall outlets.
    And, you'll have to get used to it speaking with an accent.

    For me, presonall, becasue the Mac will run OS X, while the windows machine will run, well, Windows.  Seriously, whenever given the option, I greatly prefer to use OS X over windows without hesitation.  I buy Apple hardware because I prefer OS X to Windows and have since the OS X public beta.  Apple hardware is very good quality, but so are many Windows PC (Lenovo IMO makes some great hardware, if picking a Windows machine).
    I use windows at work because that's what they give me, but I'd not pick it if given the choice.

  • Can i buy a MacBook/Pro from the US online store from another country?

    Hi guys,
    is it possible to pay for the US online store for buying a MacBook / Pro and ship it within the states of course??
    one of my family members are there and they are not that much into computers, is it possible to buy it from here (Jordan) using a Jordanian Credit Card and put the shipping address in the states??
    I didn't know where to post this exactly, so hope i can be answered and hope i can be directed into the right department instead of deleting it
    Thank you

    Sorry, but the US Apple Store cannot accept credit/debit cards with billing addresses outside of the US nor checks on non-US banks.

  • I plan to buy a MacBook Pro with retina display and I already own and use Photoshop CS 5 on my PC?

    I plan to buy and use a MacBook Pro with Retina display and I already own and use the PS CS 5 on my PC window-based. How can I obtain a copy of CS 5 for my MacBook Pro?
    Message was edited by: CHARNCHAN.  That is without having to buy another copy for the Mac!

    Not sure why you'd want CS5 for your new Mac with Retina display.
    Retina support was first added to Photoshop in CS6 version 13.0.3
    http://blogs.adobe.com/jkost/2013/01/retina-display-support-and-photoshop-cs6.html
    So, assuming you own standalone Photoshop CS5 (and you're running at least Windows 7 on your PC) then your best option - for optimal display on your Mac - might be to subscribe to the Photoshop Photography Program for $9.99/month
    https://creative.adobe.com/plans/offer/photoshop+lightroom?sdid=KIHZP
    Then you'll get Photoshop CC + Lightroom 5 + extras and you can run them both on your Mac and Windows (2 installs permitted regardless of operating system) for the same $9.99 monthly fee.
    If you don't want to subscribe then your other option would be to buy a separate CS6 license for Mac (paying full price).

  • If I buy a MacBook Pro in the US, do I have international warranty in Mexico ?

    If I buy a MacBook Pro computer in the United States, does it have international warranty in Mexico (if I have hardware problems within 1 year, will Apple Resellers / Distributors in Mexico will honor the warranty) ?
    Thank you

  • Is there any way to buy a MacBook Pro in the USA, but with a European plug?

    I'm going to get a MacBook Pro from the USA, but I live in Belgium, so I wondered if you could get a plug for Belgium straight from the US, or if you needed an adapter.

    Apple retail stores will take cash.  But, I would say it is very uncommon, in my experience, in their stores.  The sales personal are all set up to deal with credit or debit cards remotely (ie. there are no "checkout" lines, it is all done wirelessly), so dealing with cash is not the normal mode of transaction.
    Not many shoppers routinely wander around malls with several thousands of dollars in cash in their pockets (even most "cash" only folks would likely use a debit card, not actual cash)!  Plus, since many people get special compensation with their credit cards (not talking points and such, but my VISA card gives me double the manufacturers warranty, as well theft and accidental damage insurance coverage for the first 90 days), even those of us who never carry over a balance still prefer to use the credit card and get the perks (I especially like the insurance, as I have to at least get my expensive item home safely before I can use it).

  • Should I buy a Macbook Pro or the New iMac 21'. I have the new iPad and an iPhone 4.

    I need to buy a new computer soon and obviously im buying a mac. im not sure which mac I should buy. Im undecided between the new iMac or the Macbook Pro 13. Please help.

    Fundamentally, do you need a portable system or a desktop system?  Do you want something that can move around your apt/house and out and about with you? Once you decide that, the decision is easy.  Since you already have an iPad, maybe an iMac would provide a broader coverage solution (I happen to like the larger iMac screen).

  • How to buy a MacBook Pro from the Online Store

    Well, I'm Indian, and apple does not have an apple store in India(not even an online one). I need the new MacBook pro with 16 Gigs of ram in it.
    I do regularly travel to Australia and am considering buying one from their online store. But it asks for an AUSTRALIAN CARD. Did I just get something wrong or I need an Australian Credit card(if that's the case, I'm screwed). Also can I use an international credit card or am I done for????

    You could also try contacting an Apple retail store in Australia and see what their policy is for an in-store purchase and if you can reserve a unit for when you are traveling there.

  • Is it safe to buy a macbook pro from the US to use in india? The apple warranty is valid throughout the world?

    My uncle is presently in the US and i am tempted to ask him to get me the latest mid 2012 13in macbook pro! I wanna know if its safe to buy it from there and use it here in india?? Also the first year warranty is valid throughout the world or because i bought the MBP in US so my warranty is valid there only? I also understand that the power brick has different ports in the US as opposed to india, so if I use a simple port converter, will it suffice or i need a voltage converter too? i have been google - ing this question over the internet and found vague answers. Please help! Response is appreciated!!

    Your warranty is valid worldwide. The power adapter is universal, so you will only have to invest in the correct plug.
    Good luck,
    Clinton

  • Should i wait with buying a macbook pro for the mac os x lion software?

    Hi there,
    I've been saving up some money to buy myself a MacBook Pro 13", but I've been told to wait for the new lion upgrade.
    It's not that I need the macbook right now, I mean, I can wait, but I don't want to wait for a system that's not refined yet.
    I'm afraid the system might have bugs or issues or things...
    So my question: should I wait till June/July with buying, or buy one now and have a good working system?
    And do any of you guys know whether there'll be some kind of a grace period where they give you the new upgrade for free?
    Thanks in advance!

    My take is to buy it when you need it. If that's now then buy it now. You can always upgrade to Lion when it comes out.
