    I'm considering buying a used Dell E1705. Is anyone aware of any issues with the voltage regulator. I will be travelling to europe with this notebook and i dont need it blowing up or frying itself.

    I love my e1705, i haven't taken it to Europe but i have taken my other laptops. i didn't bother with the travel adapter, i just got a Euro power cord at the local computer store for like $5 (if you plan ahead you can get on off ebay) and it worked fine. i can check my power brick for you when i get home but i'm sure its just like all the others and will handle the 220V 50Hz
