Recharging laptop etc. in Europe?

Recharging laptop etc. in Europe?
What is the best way to re charge multiple electronic items, lap top, camera, nintendo, etc? Can I use an adapter and converter to plug in a power strip? That would knock my voltage down to 110 so I don't have to worry about blowing out any of the electronics. I could also charge 6 items overnight and not have to get up every two hours to switch. The power strip also has a breaker so I should be good. Right? Comments?

Answer 1 :
They sell converters many places and your best bet would be to probably just buy 1 or 2 and take turns charging them. I'm not sure if you would be able to find a converter power strip, but if you do then give it a shot.
Answer 2 :
Check your chargers, many are good for 110 and 240, and those work better if you plug them into 240, some even say in the user manual that you may not use a converter. It is well possible that you can recharge all on 240 volts. In that case you will not have to bring a converter, saving you on weight and money. If you do go for a converter and power strip, add all the wattage's and figure whether you are within the limits of the converter. Mostly recharging does not take much power at any time, but if you do all at the same time it does add up. Mostly you do not need to recharge each item every day. I mostly recharge my phone one day and my camera the next. I use two plug adapters, so I can recharge/use two things at the same time, and in some cases I can recharge something from my laptop while it is plugged in, like an Ipod or some telephones. PS: on each charger, mostly on the plug or the box in the wire, you will find the voltage it can run on. Often it will mention 110 -240, sometimes only 100-120, if it mentions 240 you will not need a converter. Near that will be a mentioning of so many watt. You will need to add all of those to work out whether you can use your converter for all things together.

Using a Macbook laptop while in Europe?

Using a Macbook laptop while in Europe?
I will be studying abroad in Germany for six months and bringing along my macbook. I am concerned with the power situation, I have blown out numerous appliances while abroad and I will be screwed if this happens to my computer. I know I will need a power adapter so I can charge my computer, but how can I assure that it won't overheat and ruin it? Do they sell macbook chargers in Europe that fit the outlets there so I don't have to plug in an adapter? (I'm assuming they must because how else would people in Europe use mac computers, I just haven't been able to find any) Thanks.

Answer 1 :
Check the adapter on your macbook - it should say 110-240V. If it says that, you just need an adapter ofr the plug outlet in Germany. Good luck with your studies.
Answer 2 :
Here's the perfect solution from apple: http://store.apple.com/ca/product/M8794G/B?mco=MTIxODk3Mw I bout it Worked great in: France, Germany, Switzerland.. Oh and good luck with studying
Answer 3 :
If you use an outlet adapter, be sure to read warnings like "Not for sensitive electronics". I'm sure someone makes outlet adapters for electronics. A specific European charger for the Macbook would be an excellent investment, though. Mind you, I've charged an iPod Nano with an outlet adapter "Not for sensitive electronics" in Cuba, but it was a risk, and the results were sketchy. It overheated and shut down the charger a lot, but it worked.
Answer 4 :
Yes...Macs are sold in Europe, so they would have to be selling compatable transformers. You *should* have no issues with pluging your NA laptop into the European transformer, since the transformer takes the incoming AC current and "smooths" it out into the "flavour" of voltage that the computer wants. This is the major reason the transformer unit heats-up. But, that is another issue! :D If you have a Mac store handy, go pay a visit before you board the aircraft, and ask the handy tech staff. If you're lucky, they'll actually know their stuff (unlike the Geek Squad from Best Buy, which is notorious for hiring people that haven't the slightest clue about the electronics they are supposed to "repair," sometimes almost to the point of not knowing how to power-on the unit!). Now, due to Steve Job's anal attitude about "his" baby...the connector to the computer and the voltages the computer run on are likely to be identical, regardless of what country you buy a Mac in... Good Luck!
