I am planning on buying a laptop as I am moving to Sweden for six months and dragging a monitor about is not what I plan to do.
I live in the UK at present and the cheapest option for me appears to be to buy a used laptop from ebay.com.
I require a laptop that has at least a graphics card on par with the geforce 6600.
What I'm wondering is if I buy a laptop from somewhere in the U.S.A will it also work in the UK and Sweden? This is assuming I have an adaptor for the sockets.

Thanks all :)
 
Yes. The power bricks that come with notebooks are autosensing and can support voltages from 100 - 240 and either 50 or 60 hz frequencies.
 
Can anybody confirm this for me? Thanks for the reply, I'd just feel more comfortable splashing out $750 on something I know will work so the more replies the better :)

Well, first you have to disable the built in GPS zone locking...;)

Yeah, the power issue should be the only one.

Not really followed what you mean by GPS zone locking so I presume you're taking the p*ss? You say the power issue should be the only one...which means that it is an issue? The first reply said it shouldn't be?
