    Hello there!

    I live in Belgium and just ordered this laptop over amazon.co.uk (€500 cheaper). Only problem: the charger. In the UK they use a different plug...

    Now I was wondering, is it still possible to replace the power cord with the plug without replacing the actual charger? Could anyone upload some photos of the cable that is interchangeable so I can try and find one already?

    Thanks!

    Yes it is. I bought mine in Germany and inside the package was an UK power cord and a standard EU one as well. So they usually put both in and you don't have to buy a new cord whatsoever.

    Wow, that's great news!

    The bad news is that Amazon.co.uk rejected my CC, so I'm stuck and will have to buy a costly SB with lower specs in Belgium or find another way. BLEH. Why can't they just do CTO in Belgium...
