    I plan to buy zv5000z and use it on my travels to Europe. I wonder if its power adapter operates only at 110V, or maybe also at 220V (required in Europe)?

    I checked user's manual HP publish at its Web site (http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c00090106.pdf) and read HP Customer Care note about compatibility with international power standards (http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?product=425543&lang=en&lc=en&cc=us&dlc=en&docname=c00037549) and I still cannot figure it out.

    In the manual for zv5000z it's written that zv5000z operates at 100-240V (page 158), but in the HP Customer Care note it's written that all HP/Compaq notebooks sold in the U.S. operate only at 110V.

    Could you check the label on your power adapter in zv5000z and tell me if it operates at 100-240V or only at 110V?

    Thanks.
