What adaptor is required for using UK laptop in Switzerland?
Hi, I have the standard adaptor that fits the Euro socket and the standard UK plug fits into this, but do I need to have another adaptor to handle the voltage? My laptop adaptor says the following: Wide range input 65W Input:100-240V ~1.7A (1.7A) 50-60 Hz Output:18.5V (18.5V) -- 3.5A (3.5A) Thanks in advance for your help! Jen

Answer 1 :
Both the UK and Switzerland use 230, so you don't have to use any kind of adaptor other than the plug. 100-240 means the laptop is dual voltage, which means you can use it pretty much around the world without a voltage converter.
Answer 2 :
Switzerland has the "Type J" socket. The ungrounded "Type C" europlug fits in the swiss socket. However if you have a grounded plug with 3-pins, you need an adaptor like this one: http://www.travelproducts.com/switzerland-grounded-plug-adapter.html
