How easy is it to use a powerbook bought in the US to the UK?
What adaptors will I have to buy, is it possible to just get the adaptor supplied to UK users and plug it straight into the US powerbook?

Thanks

In short - easy, and yes.

On this topic: Would the Apple (US) online store ship to the UK?

I bought my Powerbook in the USA, no problems at all, you can plug any standard radio lead into the powerbrick or buy an international adapter pack from apple / or use the UK plug from a iPod (I use all three)

MMMMMMmmmmmm

You might also want to get an external keyboard with the UK layout (pound sign, etc).

Though if you can touch type you won't need to. Which reminds me - the US keyboards have much more sensible Enter keys in my opinion. Wide rather than tall, making it less of a stretch.
