Buying a used US laptop in Europe

[ramarama]

Specs:

- 2.4GHz Intel Core 2 Duo (the newer one I guess)
- 2GB (2x 1GB) 667MHz DDR-2
- 15.4" LED, glossy (resolution 1440x900)
- NVidia 8600M GT 256MB
- 200GB 5400RPM SATA
- SuperDrive

The price is 1400 €, which is 400 € less than what a similar Pro would cost new here. The seller bought in May, so there's 9 months of warranty left.

My problem is, it was originally bought in the states and I live in Finland. Can I use an european charger for it, or does it only work on american chargers with an adapter? Does applecare work internationally with no problems? Are there any other issues I should know about?

Thanks in advance.

All you need is a EU plug to replace the US plug (or an adaptor)- the charger will work fine on 110-240V, 50-60Hz. AppleCare is international on laptops and portables - so no problems there.

Price is high - nearer €1000-1200 I would have thought since the machine was bought in the States for far less than the cost in Europe and it will have a US keyboard too....
