bankei Posted August 2, 2008 Share Posted August 2, 2008 Hi I have been using my Aussie laptop in Thailand without a transformer or converter. Just plug it in. The voltage in Australia is 240V and Thai is 220V. is this safe to do, or will it be harmful to the computer? Thanks Bankei Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crossy Posted August 2, 2008 Share Posted August 2, 2008 No problem whatever Your laptop likely has a 'universal' power supply anyway. Check the label it will state the operating voltage, universal units will say something like 100-240V AC input. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
