Answer 1 :
You will need an adaptor for use in Europe. If you are getting a MacBook one will be provided, you would have to check with any other brand because I only ever use Mac.
Answer 2 :
My friend move to Europe for college. He had to buy a cord for his laptop in order to use the internet. Sorry, I don't know what kind of cord it is.
Answer 3 :
Power outlets in the US are different than in Europe. You can buy a laptop with a charger in the US, but you'll need to purchase a different cable to feed the charger brick. Most bricks will handle 120 and 220 just fine, but be sure to read the label on the brick. Good luck!
Answer 4 :
Yes, but you will need a converter for the electrical outlets.
Answer 5 :
Check out the DVD region codes as well. America is Region 1 which is totally different to Europes DVDs
Answer 6 :
Yes computer will work anyway in the world except you have to adjust the current voltage.
