first of all: hello everyone 
i will be going to the usa for an exchange year in august 06. therefore i want to sell my current pc (which i bought in october 05...) and buy a notebook. i've never been really interested in macs as i am more or less a gamer. but i think that's about to change, at least for the next 12 months
But due to the fact i want a notebook which
a) has a long battery lifetime
b) doesn't crash every now and then and i might lose all my photos/videos i will take during my exchange year
c) i can take to classes on college
i am considering buying an ibook/macbook.
Of course I will wait for the new ibook/macbook to be released and see what i can afford.
My question is:
If i'm going to buy an ibook/macbook over here in germany, will i experience any difficulties regarding different electricity voltages between germany/usa? Like if the battery won't have as a long lifetimes as it would have with german electricity/voltage? Remember that it's a full year i will run the notebook on a different voltage, not just like a week or two.
Or the other way around:
I also considered buying an ibook/macbook in the usa because the euro is a bit higher than the dollar (and it hopefully won't change until august. ) so i might safe a hundred euros or so. but again: what about the different voltages?
I'm looking forward to your replies
greetings
