    Travelling to the US in a few days and it has just occured to me, can I use my laptop there using an ordinary travel adaptor or do I need to get one with surge protection?

    Anyone shed any light??

    I used mine with a standard adaptor in both the US and Canada with no problems.

    It'll depend on if your laptop power supply can do 110v.
