    Hi guys,

    I bought my ASUS G2S-B1 in Canada and am about to move to Europe. Will I need a power converter for the powersupply? Or will the power supply automatically convert the power from 110 V to 240 V?

    Also, will I be able to connect wirelessly to the internet in Europe?

    Cheers.

    Look at the label on the bottom of the PSU. It should say something like 100-240V, 50/60Hz. If so, then it will be fine and all you need is an adaptor for the mains plug.

    Notebooks are designed for travel!
