1. Does this have an electrical power cord or does it run off the computer through the USB?2. One of the reviews leads me to ask if this is WiFi/wireless?

No AC power required, runs off of USB power. Bought it because it uses Visioneer technology which I've used in the past and liked. Would have kept my old Visioneer but not compatible with W7.

All power comes through the USB.No, it is not WiFi/wireless. It has to be connected via USB cable to computer.

U can connect it to a power socket directly, ie no wire. Doesn't mean it has Wifi ;)

It is wireless but not mobile. Wireless means it can connect to your browser without a direct (Ethernet) cable. I think the issue raised is mobility. It is not a mobile unit and needs a plug. It is a "Desktop" and is far too large (27 inch) & heavy to carry. It is performing admirably as a Desktop.

No batteries on mine. No power cord, either. It connects to the computer with the USB and that's how it gets its power.

Nope but the power cord is a detachable usb so it does plug into other things and also its WiFi

It's not wireless. I have this computer and I read the description of it and it didn't say wireless but I didn't need it

Has a plug in for electrical adapter. So is wireless on the internet side but requires a electrical plug for the adapter.

everything is wireless as the battery ones with its usb connection except the cord is Ac if you want battery then you have to buy the rechargeable ones that you see all over the place then you will have both batter/usb and this one fully ac I hope this helps

It does have a USB power cord. it is powered by 5 volts dc. so with the correct power supply (220v to 5 v. dc.) I am sure you could run it from 220 volts but it is was shipped with a 120 volt power supply.

This unit is powered by the USB connector on your computer. No external power supply.

Yes, it has a USB cable you can connect to your computer, however, it does not come with connection to the electrical outlet, that has to be bought separately.

The cords it came with are the only ones that will power it. I tried hooking mine to my computer and lap top and it didn't work.

No, there is no USB cord. You plug the included "dongle" into the USB port and use it wirelessly. In fact, I'm using it right now.

It is not battery operated. I believed it is powered by the USB that connects it to the computer.

It is not wireless. Furthermore, the USB that connects to the computer is very short (maybe 2'). Get a USB extension if you want it to be far from your computer. Or you can suction it to your laptop and walk around with both.

There is a wireless receiever it connects to with wires and needs to be connected to a power outlet. Its technically wireless from the main unit but not truly. Best purchase btw. Works and sounds amazing.

There are two cords that connect at the back of the unit. One goes to an electrical outlet. The other goes to the USB port on thecomputer. There is an off and on switch on the back. The unit can be turned off when not in use. When it is turned on you canhear the fan running, but it isn't that loud. I assume the a/c cord powers the unit and the USB cord transfers the information.Hope this is helpful.
