Will a laptop pc (specifically NEC Multispeed, but interested in general)

It really depends upon the size of the lap of the person in West
Germany attempting to use the device. Seriously though - you can
purchase transformers to handle the currency difference if the
NEC doesn't already have provision (internally) to do so.
