    Hi - I tried the search, but i cant find a post on this.

    Im getting paranoid for my trip in 2 days, ill be in Italy, Croatia, Greece, and Turkey for 25 days. Obviously i need my m11x =)

    so i've read a ton, and saw that the Power brick on the m11x is a 100->240v, 50-60hz power converter.

    am i correct that i ONLY need a POWER ADAPTER (one that u plug your plug into and thats it), or do i need something else/

    i REALLY dont want to fry my M11x first day.

    thank you, if u have ANY experience with the m11x specifically, that'd be great, but any suggestions help.

    You just need something that plugs into the wall socket and changes the plug to the same plug as yours.... the actual power brick works worldwide, its just the plug that goes into the wall that not the same.

    I used mine in Iceland just fine, then I forgot the adapter at the hotel :(

    If it says 100-240v on it, then you just need the different plug and I guarantee it'll work.
