IF you buy a tablet or laptop, from usa, you,ll need a 220volt to usa power adaptor for the charger.
they use 110v in the usa.

if you bring a tablet here by post you may be charged customs duty on it.20 per cent approx.

Avoid brand x , cheap tablets as thier battery life is short,
go for a brand name tablet,archos etc read at least 3 reviews on a uk or irish website .

Most adapters for small gadgets actually can handle both 110v and 230v, I can use my Lenovos charger with just a pin changer. Its really important to check before you plug it in however, as you can get a fire otherwise.
