I actually had no problem running my Dell laptop (using a plug adapter) in Dhaka (I had recently purchased a replacement Dell power adapter while I was in the US)... it's a 4 year old Inspiron 9300. It would get really hot though (but not enough to die), especially when left without the ceiling fan or the a/c on.
I also charged my camera and my cell phone (both rated 100-240V) directly from the wall (surprisingly, our BD apt has a lot of sockets that would directly fit US flat pins, unless they had ground pin).
