Answer 1 :
i would imagine that only a converter for the powercord would be the only thing that is needed so he can plug it in to his outlets (if they are different)
Answer 2 :
They have the same power system(outlets) as us.Make sure you purchase insurance on it at the post office and signature confirmation when delivered. You should be ok
Answer 3 :
For the last 5 years I have been shipping computers and things to my wife in Brazil...(i live in brazil now)...Honestly, I was surprised that every package I sent made it to her. The post office in Brazil is very professional...she was not home half the time...the postman left a slip at the house and gave her instructions what time and which post office to pick up her box...she had 3 days to claim it. Be advised....the person who picks up the laptop WILL HAVE TO PAY TAX on it....no way around that. My wife paid around 5% tax on the laptops and electronics I sent. The post office determines the price on the receipt that you will send....if no receipt.. they do somehow find a way to come up with an accurate price of the item. Contact me at my site below
