Where to find 220v power cord for ibook?

[nhcowboy1]

I'm going to be traveling with my ibook and need to get a power cord that will work in Europe. Any suggestions as to where I might be able to get one inexpensively? Perhaps used? I'd rather not spend $100 on a new power cord for only a month . . .

your probably going to need to get some sort of adapter thingy... I haven't been there, but some family of mine has and thats what they had to use.

Edit: after looking at the adapter... it accepts 220V input. You just have to get the right plug for it since they are interchangeable.

you can get a set of plug adapters. you don't need a new cord.

Apple has a kit:

I'm sure you could find something cheaper easily enough.

At the airport?

no, not at the airport. I'd buy it before you leave.

Everything is more expensive at the airport.

Walmart is your friend...

Walmart sells $19.99 adapters in their luggage section.

Or alternatively, go into any electronics store, and usually they have them for around $5 to £10 max.

Failing that, try Target.

I know, cos' i'm from here in England, UK !!

Good luck.
