Using laptop overseas

[eggrolls]

I'm traveling to Hong Kong for the holidays, and various websites tell me that the voltage over there is 220V at 50Hz.

My laptop's power brick says "Input: 100-240V ~ 1.5A 50-60Hz". All I need is an adapter to convert the plug's prongs, right?

On the other hand, my DS adapter says "Input: AC100V, 50/60Hz" and "AC120V, 60Hz". I'm guessing I need to buy one of those "universal" adapters?

Thanks.

Yes.

Yes, or one that is specific to the voltage and frequency used there.

I know there is one made by Kensington that supposedly does all the major different plugs (England, France for sure)
