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?

you need to get a buck boost trans
Answer 2 :
May be some areas in US is provided with 110V, 50 Hz, I'm not sure, nevertheless, convertion from 220V to 110V is very simple. it is enough to get a 220/110V transformer. Frequency is another trouble. Check if your laptop can be fed with 50 Hz, if not, I think the best is to change the source, since the current sent from source to the computer is DC.
Answer 3 :
None of your equipment runs on AC as such. The 240/120 converters are a problem due to the fact we use 60Hz and it can burn up your 240/ 50Hz devices. It would be a better idea to just get a standard 120 v AC/DC device with the proper DC voltage output for what ever you are going to run on our electric. The same is true for 12v DC devices that can just be plugged into a car lighter socket. All you need is the right plug on the output side and the proper voltage and current ratings
