That depends. Once your batteries go low you'll need to recharge them. UK power is 240 volts 50 hertz; US power is 120 volts 60 hertz. Check the label on your power adaptor. If it says something like: Input power 100-240V 1.5A 50-60Hz then you're good to go. If not, or it only says input power 120V 60 Hz, then you'll need another power charger. Check your laptop mfr website or do a Google search - many companies sell dual-voltage units. You will still need a mains adapter, as the US 3-prong wall socket is nothing like the UK 3-prong wall socket. Those plug adaptors are available in travel shops and some airport shopping areas. ;-)

Not likely. US is 120 volt, UK 240 volt. US is NTSC, UK is PAL. US digital format different encode from UK. However, there are some multi region TVs that will work in UK, check the manufacturers information in the user manual.

It may. Usually the higer end ones will.

The only biggest problems are the different voltage and the plug ends are different. Make sure the one you have has a dual voltage switch on the computer. Ask someone. They do make 3rd party plug adapters.

As long as the power supply allows you to toggle between 240v and 120v input, Yes.
