    My mom is traveling to Italy (yeah Im jealous!) and she is planning on taking the m11x with her. What Im wondering is if the US spec ac adapter and laptop can handle the higher voltage that europe uses and if its just a matter of getting an adapter and done or if she will need a new adapter for her trip. Thanks and forgive me as I dont travel outside of the US much.

    All you need is a plug adapter. The Dell transformer can handle all voltages.

    One of these is what you need. I ordered a similar item from this store when I traveled to France, and it worked great.

    Great I was assuming that all she would need is an adapter. I figured the ac adapter would be fine, but I just wanted to ask just in case. Thanks guys!
