I've got a European laptop which operates on:
INPUT: 100-240V
Can I safely plug it into the Saudi mains and use it?  |

| If your laptop can take both voltages, then what's the point of asking? |

All things electircal are a mystery.
Just needed confrimation. Wasn't aware that electrical goods could operate on both Voltages.
Why looking for a fight? Outside now! |

That's your answer... and it's yes. Just like everywhere, I would also use a surge protector.

No problem, as far as your laptop works on 50/60 HZ (most modern laptop do). Some Saudi electrical power outputs are on 60HZ only, you have to check this for other electrical/electronic items which do not operate well on 60HZ.
In addition, if your laptop is from UK, I think you need to have an adaptor for your electrical plug (from 3 pins to two pins). |
