I´m not a computer expert either (!) but I use a Dell Inspiron 6400 bought in the UK before I came to live in Turkey nearly 2 years ago and I have had no problems at all. Nothing has had to be changed except configuring my keyboard for Turkish characters - which is dead simple.
Of course, you will need to get an internet package over here - mine is through Turk Telecom but I think there are other choices - there are internet shops all over the place where you can enquire about this.

What lady in red said. I used a Sony Vaio from the U.S. for over a year in Turkey with no problems whatever. I needed only a plug adaptor for the charger. Rather than reconfigure the keyboard, however, I bought a Turkish keyboard and plugged it in to a USB port.
