Converting voltage/power for laptop USA to Europe.?
I am flying to Europe and wondering whether I need a volt transformer (110 to 220). My laptop has an ACDC adapter, that says 110-240volts on it. Is this fine? whats this cycle stuff?

Answer 1 :
depends on brand, but some stores sell laptop adapters which convert voltage from USA standard to European.
Answer 2 :
It is OK. The psu may get a bit warmer than in USA, because of the extra voltage reduction required.
Answer 3 :
Depends on where in Europ you are going, some of them use 50 cycle power, This will eat up your computer designed for 60 cycle. The voltage is not the problem........Nuf Said
Answer 4 :
your power unit is dual voltage but the outlets on the walls will be different i think, just check, i know the uk has different outlets
Answer 5 :
It sounds fine, it probably also says 50/60hz on it, this will confirm it. Most are designed to work anywhere so no you don't need a transformer. You will need some kind of adapter to get it in the socket as they vary or you can cut off the North America style one and fit the one of the country you go to.

Suitcase/backpack for Europe travel, with laptop?
Suitcase/backpack for Europe travel, with laptop?
I know there are a million threads regarding taking a suitcase or backpack, but my question has a bit of a twist. I will be spending 5 weeks in Europe, 3 in London doing a summer course for which it's crucial that I have my laptop with me. From there I want to travel around Europe for bit (2 weeks approx). I haven't decided where yet, but in the realm of possibilities is Turkey, Greece, Italy, Spain, and France. Obviously, I'd only be picking 1 of these countries to go to. I plan on packing very light as the first 3 weeks I'll be close to laundry facilities. Right now I am leaning to a suitcase and a day pack as I will have my laptop as I'm just not sure that I feel comfortable with my laptop stuffed into a backpack. However, my brain keeps telling me, use a backpack, it'll be so much easier! Has anybody ever done a backpack and brought a laptop? Are their any backpacks that you would recommend? Or should I stick with a smaller suitcase?
