    i'm wanting to bring a w3j over from US to AUS and just wondering about the power difference with US being 110volts and australia with 240...

    can the asus laptops automatically swap over from 110 volts to 240 volts?

    thanks!

    usually your power brick has the capacity to handle 110 and 240 V, look on the label to confirm this. You'll probably just need to buy a simple prong converter as opposed to a voltage converter...

    great!

    is there any other overseas issues that there might be?

    Nothing I can think of right now ... you should be good... just get a converter for the power plug and that's it...
