Since you have an adapter [ / \] plug, thats all you'll need. Look on your
laptop Powersupply/charger specifications plate/decal. You should see:

input 100-240 V, 50-60 Hz or similar which covers North Americas 115-120/60
Hz and Aussies 240V/50Hz as well.

Their system worked fine with my Dell North American laptop and Philishave
(cordless) razor chargers.

Dont try to plug in anything from "over here" like a blow dryer or electric
razor that doesnt have its own "power supply"/transformer though...

It'll work..run FAST. but for a very short time
