    Hi,
    I live in US and I am using Toshiba M35-S320 laptop. I am planning to visit canada for 10 days and bringing along my notebook and a/c adaptors etc.

    Will the AC adaptor work in canada? Are the plug sockets different there than in US? If so, can somebody please suggest what adapter should I buy so that I can use it in canada?

    Thanks

    drb

    Anyway, thanks.

    I went to Costa Rica two winters ago and I was surprised they also use the same outlet as the U.S., at least my shaver and camera charger worked. If you ever do need an adapter Target sells kits for Europe, Asia, etc.

    Yup, you just gotta be careful not to accidently plug into the maple syrup socket conveniently placed next to every outlet. :D
