I have traveled all over Europe with three different lappies, and never needed a power converter- Just adapter plugs. Those come in kits at any travel store. The lappy power brick is usually good for anything from 100 to 240 volts, 50 or 60 cycle. Just put the right plug adapter on it and you are good to go. In most places, the standard telephone cable with T-Connector will work - however, check carefully. Each country has different phone systems. Anything in U.K. is fine. Most hotels can take care of you on the continent - but it's a good idea to have a digital PBX checker in your bag.
