How can I find out what wattage my laptop is?
I have a Dell Inspiron 600m and I am traveling to France in a few days and I want to be able to buy a converter or adapter (not really sure which one) so I will be able to use it there, but I don't know how to find out how many watts my computer uses or even if this is the right question to be asking soooo any help is appreciated! Thanks in advance!
