Mac OS X installs most Romance languages and some Asian languages by default. You can reset the language and similar parameters on a whim. It is not region-locked.


You may face having to pay V.A.T. or import duty on the value of the Macintosh when you re-enter the UK. If you have it out and in use (not still in the box) you could argue that the Mac would not be NEW at that point, so the value should be lower.
