Laptop power question.

I have a Dell MX1210 and im away to Brazil for a few months, i know that Brazil gives the same mains power as the US so 110volts.

Does anyone know of an easy way i can uses my laptop over there without any problems, do i have to buy a US adaptor? or just get one of those voltage controllers.

Any help would be a big help.

Cheers

Check on the laptop charger. Most are auto-switch 100-240v and thus all u would need is an appropriate adaptor.

The Brazilian authority has mandated that from 31 December 2006, plugs for Brazil need to comply with NBR 14136.

so if your going before 31st of Dec, you should be ok with a US adaptor id of thought
