Taking Surface Book to France

Tokeegee

I am going to France soon (I'm from the US) and I will of course need to be able to charge my SurfaceBook while I'm there. It says it's rated up to 240v, so can I just get a plain adapter?

I am using the SurfaceBook with a GTX 965m, and the PSU is rated at 102W

OOH WII WII

 

Your charging brick should say it is rated for up to 240 volts then you just need the adapter

So one of these cheapo things would even work?

 

The Reviews are awful for this thing, I'll look for a higher quality one.

According to this http://www.iec.ch/worldplugs/typeE.htm France uses the type E adapter: https://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss_2?url=search-alias%3Delectronics&field-keywords=Type+E+adapter
