Is there a laptop charger on the planes?
Hi all, I'd love to know if anyone of you have traveled to France through "AIR FRANCE" and if there's some kind of "plane charger" for my laptop, I have the cables and I can charge it whilem driving, but if there's nothing on the plane, I'd rather kill myself in that 14 hour flight.

Answer 1 :
No, there's no charger on planes. When you kill yourself please try not to stain too much the seats, blood is sooooo hard to clean up and it is not very pleasing for the next traveller seating at that seat. Or you can buy a second battery and charge it before the flight.
Answer 2 :
go to seatguru.com identify the airline, then plane type you will be on. The site reviews the seats and identifies which ones have power ports. Then call the airline to confirm what type of power they have 12 volt, 120, 220 etc

Do I need a converter for my 220 Volt laptop computer?
Do I need a converter for my 220 Volt laptop computer?
I am visiting Georgia from France, and have my 220 volt laptop computer. Do I need a converter, or just an adapter? I know 110 volt laptops don't need a converter to go to france.

Answer 1 :
it depends. if you're laptop is 220 volts and the outlets in france are 110 volts, then you'll need a converter. ask someone who knows how many volts do they have on outlets in france.
Answer 2 :
look at your current power supply, it should show input power as 100-240v. if it shows that you will only need the plug adapter to plug it into the us outlet
Answer 3 :
Believe me, you need a converter. Unless somewhere on the comp that can be switch from 220 to 110 do not, I repeat do not use a adaptor. I did that when staying in Europe a few months ago and burned out my comp's electrical box.
Answer 4 :
To be safe, better have a step-down transformer. You can buy one of these from hardware stores. These things "convert" 220V appliances so that they could be plugged into a 110V outlet. If the adapter has a voltage rating of 220V, plug it into the transformer and plug the transformer into a 110V outlet.

Answer 1 :
My wife is from England. We bought a Lenovo laptop for America and she was able to use it over there with only an adapter for the plug in the wall. The computer was able to tell the electricity it was getting without converting it. Hope this helps.
Answer 2 :
yes, you can use your Laptop anywhere in the world you can buy power convector's converts at the airport, or any large computer store, Make sure you get the multiple power connector, France and the Switzerland power plugs are different,

Answer 1 :
Get an ac adapter so you can plug it in in France. Bring a network cable just in case there is no wireless access.
Answer 2 :
Take your laptop in its own bag as a cabin baggage. Remember to take it out from the bag in every X-ray/security port. If you have more than 2 batteries its handy... if you have headphones its handy also so you dont disturb people on the plane. Mmm im out of ideas hehe hope it helps.
Answer 3 :
Before your hook up your laptop in FRANCE ...check with Hotel's Customers Service- to find out what you have to do so you can operate your LOP TOP safe.
Answer 4 :
If you have a laptop lock, it is good to take it with you, so you can lock it to a solid object when you leave it in your hotel room. And take your laptop with you as often as you can to diminish the risk even more. You will need a plug adapter, but most likely your charger can take 230 volt (check it, it will say 100/240 or 110/230 or so on it,) if not, you might just replace your lead to the mains with one that can handle 230 volt.
Answer 5 :
Definitely get a universal travel adapter in order to be able to use your laptop connected to electric sockets in France. Make sure to take your laptop with you on board when flying. As someone already mentioned here, you will be required to take it out of the bag at airport security controls. For the long trip, you can put your own music and entertainment to your hard drive. In that case, headphones will definitely come in handy :) There are many many WiFi hotspots in France, some with free Internet access (e.g. many McDonald's in Paris, some hotels). French people usually have long lunches, so if you leave your laptop in a meeting room during lunch, just in case, get a laptop lock.
