Alienware area 51M 7700 laptop comes from Russia, will it work here in Canada? Is there something different about one from Russia that would cause it to not function overseas?

you'll probably need a power adaptor. the ac power here in the usa is 110 volt 60 cycle. in europe it's 220 volt 50 cycle

There shouldn't be anything that keeps it from functioning on a hardware level (you'll need a different power adapter possibly), but unless you speak russian, you might have a hard time with the software until you can get the language switched to English. Honestly, I'd imagine with the freight and having to get it shipped overseas and the hassle of getting the language switched you'd be better off just buying one from closer to home.

lol Yes - in russia the outlets are round little dot looking things, instead of long bar ones like we have here. It will just need to be bought a new cord that can plug it into your canadian wall. Lol. but other than that it will work fine. Oh and dont worry about the voltage and power difference - it wont make any difference even if you go from canada to russia and switch to a higher voltage - but especially since youll be switching to 110 - which is lower than in russia - you will be fine

I'm not sure if the plugs/voltage in Russia would be different, but even if it is, you would only have to get an adapter. All of the other cords should be the same (just make sure that it has an ENGLISH version of windows in it :-) )
