Answer 1 :
You are saying wich make Some new Toshiba only need a plug adapter. (transformer comes with the notebook) Otherwise just buy a voltage transformer at any electronic stores. cost is anywhere from $30 to $50
Answer 2 :
Get a power converter, they convert the 220 to 110. You can use this on all your american appliances.
Answer 3 :
Check it it might be dual powered then all you have to do is switch the switch from 110 to 220 (you might not need to do that) and buy an adapter for the country you'll be in. Otherwise you'll have to buy a power converter.
Answer 4 :
You most likely will need nothing more than a plug adaptor, almost all laptops will accept 100V-240V 50-60Hz input and will convert the input voltage to the correct output voltage for your laptop automatically. Just check the "little box" on your adaptor/converter cord, if it says 100-240V 50-60Hz input, you're ready to go except for any plug adaptor you may need for the country you're going to, you can check that on this website: http://www.kropla.com/electric2.htm
