    Hello

    I live in the UK and own a X200s (pretty happy so far). I travel frequently to European countries and I need a suitable AC adapter, which one would you recommend? Would this http://www5.pc.ibm.com/europe/products.nsf/$wwwPartnumLookup/_02K6701?OpenDocument do for example?

    Or should I just use the standard 65W UK charger that came with the laptop and a plug adapter? I am only asking because I heard that this might damage the battery after multiple charges.

    Thanks for any help!

    Use the plug adapter. It will be fine.

    yup, the plug adaptor is all you need. Or if you don't want to use that, you can buy a shuko end cable to plug into your charger instead of the uk cable end, thereby foregoing using adaptors and simply use the right plug.

    For the same reason I have an australian cable end and a UK-one for mine, making it a tad easier than using a plug adaptor (one less thing is always good).

    Of course, I bring a plug adaptor when I travel around, but if I'm staying in either of those two countries solely I bring the cable instead.
