Simple question - laptop power supplies

Post by tnf »

Need to find a computer for someone to take to India. Apparently, all the power outlets in India are 220, vs. the standard 110 here in the states. If he were to buy a laptop in the states, would it just be a matter of getting a new power adapter for it to use over there?

thanks
