I'm going to Australia.

I bought my laptop in Korea and was wondering will I need a transformer and adapter to use it in Australia? If so, where could I get them?

Thanks

Australia uses 220-240 Volts at 50Hz.

Korean appliances should be OK in Australia with just a plug adapter.

No converter needed. Just an adapter.

I have one of these and it works great.

I'm an Aussie and my Aussie aplliances work fine here with just a plug adaptor. They work fine with my pie maker, Razz .

Buy before you go to the airport. They are about double the price there.
