You just need a 110 - 220 plug adapter. Pretty much all computers and laptops are dual-voltage, desktops switch manually, and laptops are automatic. Take a look at the power specifications on the AC Adapter, and you should see something like 100 - 240V by the input.

Usually Toshiba comes with 100-240V range adapter so u won't need to buy a coverter.C the description in the power adapter.Better to buy a universal adapter so u can plug it in to any socket will cost u around 7$. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0028Y4D3G?ie=UTF8&tag=minimini2-20&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B0028Y4D3G

AndyP is right: if your AC adapter is made for 220-240 V/60 Hz, you only need the plug adapter he linked to. The plug marked Europe will work in Sweden as well as Greece. In the below link, sockets/plugs are either type C or type F.
