Product: HP Spectre x360

So I am traveling overseas to England and I am aware the voltage is much higher than it is in the USA. I believe they use 220 voltage and the outlets are different.

 

I am just wondering if I need to buy a power converter for my laptop to recharge over there or if I can just buy a plug adapter and charge it normally regardless of voltage.

All notebooks/laptops now should be able to use household voltages around the world (at least 20 years now). All you need is a tourist adapter to physically fit the AC wall outlet. You can buy tourist adapters at many tourist shops or airports.

 

You can check it out yourself, just turn the charger up-side-down and read its label (they use to print in white but now in grey or dark color, very hard to read).

 

Regards.
