What type of converter/adaptor plug kit do I need for a laptop computer in France?
I'm wanting to bring my laptop on my trip to Paris France and I'm a little confused about the Converter/Adaptor Plug Kit for overseas travel. The ones I see are a 1600 watt converter and says good for small appliances. Will these work for a laptop (it's a gateway tablet laptop) or do I need some thing else, and if I need some thing else where do I find it??? Thanks all for your help!!!!!

Go here http://www.travel-images.com/electric-plugs.html You probably do not need a power converter, just a plug adapter. Most laptop power supplies will work with 110 and 220. Some have a switch. BE VERY SURE so you don't blow it up.

Theres information on french plug at whatplug.net website it says the following and on the site there is a picture of the plug type France 230 V 50 Hz Type E hope this is of use
Answer 3 :
I've used a laptop in France with just a travel plug. Most power supplies can cope with the variations. You really shouldn't need a convertor unless you also need it for something else. Even so, I'd just run from French mains.
