If I buy a laptop in America, will it work in England


If I buy a laptop in America, will it work in England?
I am going back to England for college in September and I plan on purchasing a Sony laptop. They are much cheaper here than in England, so this is my plan, but will it work over there? Will I just need to buy an adapter, or will there be other issues? Thank you

My Dad travels back and forth and always brings his laptop, and he says you just need a power adapter.

It should work just fine. You may need a power adapter though for charging it. Also, if you are planning on using it to play DVD movies note that you may have issues as if it is sold in the US it will be set to DVD Region 1 and may not play DVDs made / sold in England. If that's the case, you can usually change the DVD Region through the software, however they usually only allow you to change the DVD region 3 times, then it's frozen. Data DVDs will work just fine though.
