In theory yes. The laptop power supply should be able to take whatever you put into it and convert it into what the laptop needs (usually 15V-18.5V).
In practise, it might not like doing so. There should be a label on the power supply. If it says "Input 110V-230V" then it will be fine. If it doesn't mention putting 230V into it, don't risk it.

Yes, most laptops will work fine. Last year I spent about 50 days in in the UK and only needed the adapter. DMsView's info is correct on the input. As long as the range is adequate you should be OK to use it with the adapter. Now if you have other devices that aren't labeled, consider getting a transformer. I did need that to handle my battery recharger for my digital camera. My HP laptop and my VoIP phone "gizmo" ran just fine with only the adapter.

Only if the plug is the same shape which has three pins like we have in Britain and is earthed also it is fused with 13amp. The maximum power in Britain is 240 volts.

Care should be taken as USA are on 110v and the UK are on 230/240v please make sure that you laptop power switch is changed from 110v to 230/240v there is usually a small switch that allows you to do this on most electrical appliances. hope this helps PC MAN

As long as your power supply is rated 120/220 50/60 hz, you will have no problem.
