Conclusion, in a 3 hr stop in Sing, no, I wouldn't advise looking for a laptop!
Thanks for the assistance everyone. I thought it might be a captive market - though not so much bothered by the voltage issue, I was concerned that after exchange costs and the fact there might be limited choice I might be better off elsewhere.

A trip to the Tottenham Court Road beckons.....
