Yep - I'll fire off a request to Apple over there. My wife is there right now finding us a place to live - is there an Apple store (I can look online) or is there a good place to go for Mac repairs etc. ?

Cheers.

Wow - thank you so much for all that information. I've been digesting it and it's looking like it might just be worth getting a new one when I get there. Your point about it sitting in a container for 6 weeks is well made. We're paying for it to be crated and shipped so the money I save by not doing...

Thanks Mi Amigo.

My Mac laptop will work just fine - the iMac doesn't have an adapter though - it plugs directly into a socket. I expect it's modular inside which is what I would like to replace with a 240v version.

I was just given an iMac as a Christmas gift and have switched over from using all my creaky old Windows boxes to the shiny new Apple product. I love it and would really like to bring it with my from the USA to Singapore when I move. It's not multi-voltage of course like my Mac laptop so I'm wonderi...

Bringing my TV from USA to Singapore

I just got a new TV before we decided to move to Singapore and I'd very much like to bring it (52" Sony LCD).
