We hope that bringing a laptop with us will avoid the long wait for access to the internet that would otherwise occur if we wait for our desktop computer to arrive by sea. Have other people used this approach and has it worked?
If we buy a laptop in the UK will it work in NZ? We assume it will work okay as a stand-alone computer, but are there issues of compatibility when it comes to modems, ISPs, telephone cables & connectors, and software, when trying to access the internet for Emails and the WWW?
How easy is it to set up an ISP when we arrive in NZ and are they NZ specific? Is there much choice in ISP and does anyone have any recommendations? Is it possible to set up a Pay-as-you-go account in the short-term until we can set up a broadband account?
Please give answers in child speak for us non- technie folk!
