Answer 1 :
you'll need a different adapter to charge the laptop in the wall.
Answer 2 :
Your wifi will work fine, but your power adapter will need a converter to convert the 230v to 110v
Answer 3 :
You won't need a voltage converter like someone else wrote, because your power adapter is good for voltages between 100 and 240 volts. 110 V is used in the US. So, you'll only need a plug adapter. Go to your local electronics/electrical/travel supplies store (Tandy?) and ask for a plug adapter for the US and you should be set. It should be fairly inexpensive. Again, you don't need a voltage converter or transformer as your laptop's power adapter can already handle the mains voltage in the US. If you can't find a store in the UK, you should be able to find a plug adapter in the US too. Try Radio Shack or Brookstone. Wireless should work without any problems. There are no country-specific differences there.
