Can you run a US bought laptop in the UK?In: Computer Buying |

Answer
That depends. Once your batteries go low you'll need to recharge them. UK power is 240 volts 50 hertz; US power is 120 volts 60 hertz. Check the label on your power adaptor. If it says something like: Input power 100-240V 1.5A 50-60Hz then you're good to go. If not, or it only says input power 120V 60 Hz, then you'll need another power charger. Check your laptop mfr website or do a google search - many companies sell dual-voltage units.
You will still need a mains adapter, as the US 3-prong wall socket is nothing like the UK 3-prong wall socket. Those plug adaptors are available in travel shops and some airport shopping areas.
