HELP! laptop & American outlets. totally confused!?
I'm thinking about buying a macbook. However, I live in France but am moving to the United States in a few months. The outlets here are different from American outlets so I'm afraid that if I buy a computer in France, it will be damaged too quickly because of the different power that France uses. I will for sure need to get a converter but my question is does that damage goods prematurely? Thanks in advance for your help!

Answer 1 :
Just buy a power adapter for the US when you get here. If you use the round 2-prong 220v Euro plug it won't fit in an American power outlet anyway. The official Apple adapter is $79 from Apple. Stay away from the cheap clones.
Answer 2 :
There are voltage converters that you can purchase at any electronics store. Make sure you get a voltage converter and not just the outlet converter. The way you can tell is that voltage converters are bigger and bulky, outlet converters are light and small.
