Are there any issues with using a Macbook on a European power supply?

Thursday, August 6, 2009 / Hardware

Hello,
I would like to purchase a Macbook from your store, but am curious as to if there would be any issues using a European (220v) power supply for an American spec computer.

Thanks for your help,
David

There is no problem using your US bought Mac laptop’s power adapter overseas. All the Mac power adapters cover voltages ranging from 100 to 240 Volts at 50 or 60 Hz. You may want to buy the Apple World Traveler Adapter Kit though, to fit the wall plugs you have locally.

    Great advice. I dont know how many times I have to tell people the very same things. Glad I’m not the only one.
