If it says 220 V 50/60 Hz, then it's probably safe to use it in the US. If it says 220 V 50 Hz, it's more uncertain. Many components should work fine, but perhaps some may overheat, not work, or run at the wrong speed. If the alternative is to throw the machine in the garbage, I would try it (with a transformer in order to convert 110 V to 220

The difference in 110/220V wiring and 220/230V wiring is that -- for 110/120V -- the white wire is not really "hot" and, instead, is a "common" wire that ultimately gets attached to the common or ground lug bar in the wiring panel, while -- for 220/230V -- the white wire in the cable is truly "hot" and ultimately gets attached to a circuit
Check the adaptor you already have. The adaptor label should state the input voltages it expects. You should also check the frequency of the mains as it is 50Hz in many places, not 60Hz like in North America. This should also be printed on the adaptor label. We've got 3 laptops - they all accept 100-240V and 50-60 Hz.
