    Well, I bought a e1505 notebook in the states, where the ac is 110V, but in my country is 220V. Is it any dangerous to just plugg it?What do I need to buy?

    most (if not all) notebook adapters sold now days come with universal power bricks, so it should be fine just plugging it into a korjo international power adapter...but like drumfu said, please check the info on the adapter before you plug it in...

    What is your country? For example, if you live in continental Europe, you need a US-Europe plug adapter (click to see a picture). I bought one for 50 cents in Chinatown and it works fine. This assumes that your power adapter is indeed compatible with 110V and 220V. Check that the adapter says something like "Input 100-240V".
