Hi, sorry if wrong group, didn't really know where to put this one. I'm headed to America soon (live in the UK) and would like to know what kind of adapters to get. I know that the US has a lower voltage than UK, and all my chargers etc have a variable voltage so they will be fine. The only thing is that my laptop charger does not have this, so would I need a step up adapter? If so, can I get some recommendations? Cheers guys <3

Yeah, pretty sure it's 200-240V

Then you need a universal Input Charger for your device that works in the US; a cable isn't enough.

And a transformer doesn't make much sense as its probably more expensive...

 

BUT you should either get an original one from the manufacturer or from named brands such as FSP, if they still have a compatible model.

Since we don't know what kind of laptop you have, we can't direct you towards a suitable replacement.

 

Different brand laptops have different DC voltages (though typically 19V), different power requirements (90W, 120W, etc.) and different tips (where they plug into the laptop).
