I will be hopefully visiting America later this year.
I have some electrical items.

The `infamous netbook`, the mains supply transformer states 100 to 240
volts.
The other an electric shaver with no details on it so could be 240v only.

Should the laptop be ok to be charging over there on 110v.


It will be ok.

If shaver is 240 volts only would it run but slower.


Why not try it over here? Can't you find anyone with a bathroom power
supply for shavers? They always seem to have dual voltage outlets. I've
even seen them in public toilets in shopping malls and airports.

Also for charging phones will they charge but at a slower rate.


No. They will have a SMPS like your Netbook supply, and will work the
same way in the UK and USA.
