    Hi,

    Im going to be in the US for a couple of months this year, I was wondering if it would be possible to buy the US version of the plug head (dont know if this is the right term) so that I dont have to have an adapter in for months, or is there a difference in voltage that the adapter changes ?

    You can buy either the full power lead, or a world adapter kit. Best place to check is the Apple website. Better to get a proper plug than an adapter as the american sockets can be pretty loose, especially with too much weight hanging off them.

    The adaptor does not change the voltage, only the shape of the plug, but most laptop power supplies (including all MacBook and MacBook Pro models) can run on anything between 110 to 240 volts, so they'll work anywhere in the world, subject to the plug fitting into the outlet.
