| Do you need a power converter or simply the plugs? Most electronics are dual volt, but appliances are another matter... as well as D-Link routers as I discovered a few snap crackle pops later... |

I prefer to buy from a person or store rather than online since I don't know the postal system here well enough yet.
I need the power converter for my laptop, and possibly an adapter as well. We brought a small power converter and adapters but not sure when we'll need more.
We do for sure need a power converter that will allow me to charge my laptop. I can't keep using my wife's since it's the small Dell style and it drives me insane.  Also, her entire operating system is in Chinese and I can only read the file folder which I've given my own name in English. LOL
Anyone else with a converter is welcome to let me know.
Cheers |

Most laptops already have power converters. Is there a brick in your A/C line? There should be language on that brick stating that it'll accept voltages between 100 - 240 (or so). If yes then all you need is an adapter to change the shape of your prongs so it'll fit into a Korean power outlet. |

Thanks a lot Bigfeet,
I appreciate that info. You were right and I have that type of brick on my wire for the laptop.
