    I am in the UK and I am going to America soon and am going to buy the Razer Blade 2014 14" because it is sleek and ideal for me. The thing is I am wondering what I should do about the adaptor since it will be an American plug and apparently a travel adaptor does not use the full 150 watts needed.
    Also does anyone know when the 2015 Blade will be launched because I am going to America in February.
    Please help, thanks.

    The Blade uses a 2 part power adaptor, so you can unplug the "proprietary one" (the one that really connects to the computer - with Razer logo etc) and the somehow-universal one (the one that connects to the wall). The "somehow-universal one" is the same as used in most HP computers for example.

    I'm in France and I simply switched the second part with an old HP charger I had previously. Everything works perfectly. I guess other brands also use this sort of connector...
    Here's a few pics of what I'm talking about : 140826200912-hp-recall-laptop-power-cord-620xa.jpg razerbladepro_10-100358300-orig.jpg

    Agreed. I just checked my adaptor, it accepts 100-240v 50/60Hz. Should work anywhere in the world with a suitable input cord attached.

    Use of a third party power supply is not covered under the Blade warranty and any damage from an insufficient power source will not be covered as well.
    The Blade requires a power supply of 19 Volts DC 7.9 Amps at 150 Watts. (2011 Blade: 19 Volts DC, 6.32 Amps at 120 Watts)
    The Power Supply that shipped with the Blade works on 100-240 Volts AC 50/60Hz, this is considered a world power supply.

    The AC Cord is an IEC C5 plug at the power supply end. IEC_60320_C5_connector.jpg

    Get the appropriate plug for your country on the other end and your all set.
