convert power from 240V to 110v?
I'm going to study in the US. How can I use my electrical/electronic appliances(especially laptops) that I bought in my home country(Malaysia) which uses 240v/50Hz, in the US?

Answer 1 :
Just use a 110 to 240 voltage converter. They are available many places. The link below leads to one such place. Just be sure to get a converter big enough, but not too big, for your needs. The 50 Hz/60 Hz frequency is not normally an issue.
Answer 2 :
Most laptop power supplies I've seen that use a separate cord that plugs into the power supply will automatically sense the input voltage and work correctly with either voltage without a converter. The 50/60 Hz frequency is not an issue with the power supplies I've seen. Most likely all you need to do is get the correct cord for your laptop power supply in the U. S. See the links below, though you should be able to get similar cords through other retail outlets that handle computers such as WalMart
