cycles?  As long as the brick says 110-240V or w/e I should be fine right?

herts, cycles - same thing.

So my friend is going to Qatar for 9 months and we decided to have him buy a new laptop rather than send his PC due to hassle.  It's an Acer V3 A10-4600M 6GB DDR3 750GB HD and an HD 7670M 2GB GDDR3+HD 7660G crossfire.  It should be rated for 240V like every other laptop in this world.  Does all he need to do is get the right plug and he should be good to go? There's no switches on laptop PSU's to my knowledge.

Specs: Core I7-2600K @ 4.5GHz @ 1.35V, 4x4GB Corsair Vengeance Black 1600MHz CL9, Cooler Master Evo 212, MSI Z77 Mpower Motherboard, Sapphire Radeon HD 7950 Vapor-X @ 1000/1400, Cooler Master HAF 932 Blue Edition w/ 3 Cougar Hydraulic Bearing 120MM fans (2 up top 1 in the bottom) replaced side panel with a window, and rear fan with a Cougar Hydraulic Bearing 140MM, Cooler Master GX 650 80+ Bronze PSU, Samsung DVD-RW, Samsung 840 Pro 128GB SSD, Seagate 750GB SATA III 7200RPM

I should list the input range on the power brick, it might be auto switching, if not then but another adapter that is compatible.

You could always buy another charger, they aren't too expensive.

Laptop isn't here yet.  He just ordered it, it's the newer version of what I have and it's rated for 110-240V.  If this is the case he should be okay to plug it in no issue.

Double check the cycles - the wrong cycles will kill it. 99% of bricks that are rated for 240/120 will also be good for 50/60Hz.

Okay so check the voltage and the hertz as well?

As long as the rated input on the adapter checks out with what comes from the wall, all is good. If not, find one that does ;) simple as that :P

He means Hz, 110V is 60Hz 230V is 50Hz.

But the first thing that happens in the brick is AC to DC so Hz should not matter anyway

 

Just make sure its says

 

Input: 110-230V 50/60Hz

 

If its something along those lines it's fine.
