Will a laptop (alienware M11x R3) bought from the USA work in European power outlets ?
Besides the fact that you would need an adaptor because the plug is different. Will it work normally ,nothing will break , catch on fire ? I heard something that In USA the power outlets give 110V not 220V like in Europe

Answer 1 :
Not really, i took my australian laptop to asia and put it in an outlet with the cord converter... in a village where electricity goes out randomly!!!!! Just make sure if you can, use the power cord changer and dont cut off the wire and stick it on!!! JuST KEEP IT PLUGGED on to your laptop charger.. cheers
Answer 2 :
Yes. Electronic devices like adapters for laptops, cellphones, iPods, PSP, etc. can be plugged and used anywhere in the world. They are 110-240V AC capable. The only thing you need to worry about is the plug which can easily be purchased. If you want to be sure, read the inscription on the power adapter.

Should I buy laptop in Korea or USA??
Should I buy laptop in Korea or USA?
I am going to be attending grad school (for 4 years) in Ohio in the fall. And I am visiting my family in Korea right now and my uncle wants to buy me a new laptop for graduation gift/being accepted to grad school. He and many others recommend SamSung laptop but I am not so sure because of these following reasons: I have never owned a samsung laptop before (I've had toshiba, averatec which is piece of junk, and dell) The samsung laptop is going to be in all in Korean. I am fluent in Korean but I am not so sure if I can have Microsoft Office in English for my school stuff. If I am going to have valid warranty when I get to Ohio. If I can convert my entire computer setting to English from Korean (I think I can but I am not so sure...) If buying samsung laptop in Korea is cheaper or more expensive than buying a Dell or hp laptop in USA I am looking for an everyday use laptop about 13-15 inch screen with 2.2-2.3 GHz processor (prefers Intel Core 2 Duo), 2-3GB memory with 250~350GB harddrive... if it's not too much I would like a decent video card and decent battery(I've had bad experience with Dell 6 cell battery..) If anyone ever have bought Samsung laptop and/or converted to English and brought back to USA and had problems (or not) please let me know. My uncle wants what's best for me and offered to send money if it's worth buying it in USA when I get back in the fall. looking to spend about 1,000,000won more or less. (~1,200dollars for now I guess)

Answer 1 :
The question would be, if you want a US-English keyboard or a Korean keyboard. The switching to any operating system in any language is no problem, i for example use german keyboard laptop with asian OS. Samsung laptops are very good quality and should be slightly cheaper in Korea, the specs you listed are decent, maybe 2.4Ghz and more for this price range (the Penryn series CPUs Pxxxx with energy efficient 45nm transistors). For video card make sure you get one with ATI or NVIDIA graphics with dedicated RAM (seperated video RAM), Intel are always integrated graphics

Answer 1 :
For US domestic flights, there is no charge for carry on. There is a limit on how much you can bring with you, each passenger is allowed a personal item small enough to fit underneath the seat which means something like a handbag or a laptop computer bag, plus a baggage that fits into the overhead bin which means a stroller or a baggage. Therefore you should be ok.
Answer 2 :
There is no charge if you are carrying those with you on the plane.
