Answer 1 :
We use 220 volts to be precise. Anyhow, if you plug a 240 volt electronic device it will work as well. Check if your laptop converter accepts 110-240 volts, as most convertors nowadays do.
Answer 2 :
Argentina C, I 220 V 50 Hz Brazil A, B, C, I 110 V and 220 V 60 Hz Check the power pack on the laptop cord to see if it handles 220/240V. You will probably just either need a plug-type adapter on the end, or a different cable running from the power pack to the wall.
Answer 3 :
Argentina: officially 220V 50Hz Brasil: Both 127V/60Hz or 220V/60Hz (North American or European plug) although 127 is more common. Don't worry about this though because your dell should be able to handle from 100V to 240V. Check the power adapter or power supply, it will be written on it
