    Hi everyone,

    I'm not totally sure I'm in the right place but couldn't find any other matching categories...

    Anyway, here's my question: if I buy a laptop from US; would I be able to use it / charge it in europe where the power outputs are different (210V)???


    Thanks,

    It's a simple adapter. I use one for when I go to Greece. You can find them in almost any electronic store like Radioshack or BestBuy.

    Yes, I got my lenovo from the US. 90% of power adaptors are 110-240v. Just double check the label before you plug it in.
