Hey guys,

I'm taking my laptop to Europe and was wondering if Ill be able to plug it into the outlet's there even though the voltage is different? I have an adaptor plug. I just don't want to mess it up, I don't need a voltage converter right?

Laptop is a new Acer Timeline X.
 
All the laptop A/C adapters I have had or seen work for all commercial voltages. All you need is a simple plug adapter. The A/C adapter is already a voltage converter. Continental Europe uses a plug with rounded pins. UK is different.
 
Thanks man, that's what I was thinking. It's a brand new laptop so I am pretty sure it supports both voltages, I bought the plug adaptor.
 
To really give yourself peace of mind, look for something like this on the bottom sticker of your A/C adapter:

yeah watch out old apple products will BLOW UP. they did this on purpose for a period of time. to stop folks from selling 699$ mac mini's to UK where they go for 699 quid ($1000)
