What do I need to plug my laptop into a power outlet in France?

Question

I just got an international converter set but I'm afraid it won't be of help because it says not to use it with appliances that use more than 25 W.

Are there converters for computers?

Thanks.

My converter set has five different adapters (for Europe, Middle East, Africa, Asia...) and a converter. Can I just use the adapter without the converter?

It really says "DO NOT USE converter for computers, televisions, fax machines, power tools or electronic controlled appliances exceeding 25 watts."

It doesn't say anything about not using the adapters.

Answer 1

Check your owners manual. Most laptops will work on 110v or 220v. I know when I was in Germany all I had to do was get a plug adaptor. They should be really cheap.

Edit: You should not need a power converter.

Answer 2

I wouldn't. The converter converts the charge so you won't have a problem with the higher amount of electricity. I have a friend who plugged in her charger for her camera without that converter and she shut off power in the hallway and she totally fried her charger. I wouldn't suggest doing that unless you want a fried laptop. I'd suggest going to internet cafes instead because they're cheap, often 1-2 euros an hour and the connection is fast.

Answer 3

Find a power converter in store.

Answer 4

i think u will need to buy a ac adapter from the laptop manufacturer

Answer 5

You should be able to use the adaptor with your plug in and it should work just fine. Europeans are weird with their power plugs(or we are). Either way, your adaptor should work just fine.

Answer 6

Does France even possess electricity?
