Answer 1 :
Yes, it will. But you may need a different charger, or at least a different plug. *** ADDITION *** Yes, Ethernet plugs are universal. So is WiFi.
Answer 2 :
yes
Answer 3 :
Depends; You will need to plug it in where there is 110 voltage, and thats HARD to find in europe. Most the wattage is 220volts. If you can't find the 110 outlet then you will need to use a transformer and you can purchase them in europe. They can be quite expensive depending on the size you need. Ranging from around 25-150.00 dollars. Hope this helps.
Answer 4 :
Most likely it will. Check whether the adapter that came with it says 220/110v 50-60 Hz. If it does, you're good to go, but will still have to buy an adapter for the different plugs (a couple of bucks). If it says only 110V, you'll need to purchase a charger/adapter as well. Make sure it has the same wattage as your current adapter, and that the plug that goes to your computer is compatible with the socket in your laptop.
Answer 5 :
my computer (dell) was bought in USA and works fine in Europe, first check that the laptop has a voltage switch (mine does) and once you switch the voltage you just need to buy an adapter - the lines for the USB etc. are all the same, the phone connection might be different - I am in Malta and the phone connectors here are long and flat versus square as in the US [i think UK is the same as Malta]- i did blow out my printer though by using the wrong converter.. i also have an older laptop without a voltage switch and just use it with different adapters as this particular laptop is universal - go to the manufacturers website and check your model - good luck!
Answer 6 :
im in Malta and my lap top was bought in the states, I had no problem getting internet service thats fast and cheaper than the states, however I had to get a transformer to plug in to the wall as the plugs dont match up. if you dont use a transformer you will burn your computer out quickly as the power in many parts of europe isnt as stable as the usa and flucuates from 220 up to 240
