Macbook abroad question

[BrumGB]

Hey guys

I have a very quick question regarding taking my new macbook abroad. I am from the UK and I am travelling to the Philippines in a few weeks, I would like to know if there is a certain adapter or whatever that I need to buy so that I can charge my macbook there. If possible could I just use my regular charger and use an foreign plug adapter ?

Thanks alot!

Apple sells a kit of adapters designer for their power adapters http://store.apple.com/us/product/MB974ZM/B

Essentially all they are are replacement plugs, so the plug adpter should work fine.

You should be fine with a plug adaptor - Phillipines uses USA style sockets but 220V - 60Hz supply.

Your power adaptor will be happy with the supply and a USA to UK adaptor will work fine.

Or buy the World Travel Adaptor for about £25 (!!)

Just pick up a cheap travel adapter from Poundland, supermarkets etc and you'll be fine.

The little brick that is attached to your power cord regulates the amount of current sent to the computer. So unless you get a surge or something crazy, no matter what it's plugged into, it will only allow the correct amount of current to the device. That being said, you just need to buy a plug adapter to fit the new outlet.
