yea it's no prob. most laptops already have an adaptor that easily changes its voltage 100-240V. As long as ur in that range u can run ur laptop. i've used my laptop in the Philippines for 4 years and it worked out fine of which i bought in Canada.

Yes... but with a couple of caveats.
1. Make sure that the charger is capable of working at 120V (USA) and at 220/240V (Britain, Australia and many other countries.) If not you will need to buy a step-down transformer, (available in most travel shops.)
2. If you are using dial-up to connect to the net, many internal modems will not recognize the dial tone in other countries. There is a setting in most laptop modems that will tell the system not to look for a dial tone. Use this setting if you have trouble dialling in. Other than that, Happy Surfing!

Yes. Most laptop adapter takes an input from 110-240Volts and convert it to the power needed by your laptop. Check the adapter that comes with your laptop. It should mention a range of input voltage that it will accept.
If you are not sure, just bring a travel power adapter such as the one advertised by the sharper image.

Yes. The power converter should be a dual 110/240 or something close so you do not need an adapter.

As long as you have the proper adapter for the wiring!
