It adjusts automatically? There is no 100/220 switch accessible from the outside.

My daughter, my girlfriend and I all have Acers but different models. Two use amd processors and chipsets while mine used an and processor and chipset. The power supply I bought powers all three with no problem. Hope this helps!

Mine came with a European power supply. They added a converter, but unacceptable to me. I returned it.

The best I can do on this is to say that you will need to send for repair. I personally do not keep anything on my computer permanently-like maybe two days. I use external drives. Again it is the price paid for light weight. The only time I do not have another computer is when I travel internationally. Otherwise I can send it in and use my other computers. The Acer website has support info on service. There is also an international site. I have sent desktop computers in for repair so this is similar. I would say that you should follow their suggestions in the manual for conditioning the battery so that it lasts longer and performs better. I will just have to pray it is ok while traveling internationally.

I believe that you would need a power adapter; there was nothing in the manual about compatibility with European power.

Alexandra, I've got an Acer Aspire One, and the adapter works so much better than the charger that came with the computer. If you go to the Acer website and get the model number of the charger that came with your computer, then do a search using that number and if you find that 19v 1.58A 30W unit is interchangeable, then you can purchase one, or two like I did, and be happy you got a unit that doesn't short the cable because of poor design. With two units, I have one at both of my work places here in my house and I don't have continuously unplug and wind up cable when I move between them. Without you doing a search yourself, I cannot tell you if this particular unit will work for you. When you find the unit that will work, make sure it has the 90 degree angle on the plug that goes into your computer to make sure you have the strain-relief you need to the cable doesn't get worked back and forth and short out.

Does this mean that it does not work in Europe. This is the first time an laptop does not work with 220 V and 110 V due to his Accu. Could you please confirm this to me again, because I would use it primarly in Europe.

The unit Requires 12V dc and comes with a USA 110V power adapter. It is possible to acquire a 220V power adapter with a 12V dc output at ~400mA and power the unit in Europe.

I don't know if it is compatible with European laptops; I do know, however that I'm not compatible to laptops. I "plug" it in once a week and it functions. My son says that it is doing its job. It would be responsible if the company sent a simple set of functional directions, etc...?

Hi Daedrich. As I understand, you live in Hungary. I do not know the voltage you use over there, but I don't think that will be a problem because the Edge comes with its own brick. I would say you just have to buy the plug converter, but you should chek if the voltage, in case it is not the same, won't damage your tablet. Greetings!

I have bought in US and use the laptop in Brazil without any adapter (just for reference in Brz we use 120v 220v)... as I am not familiar with Europe standard, I am not sure how its gonna work.

The power supply has a wall plug with an in line converter and a small round connector like most laptops. i would expect you can get a 240v converter that will step down the unit. I will try to remember to follow up with the exact power info Later.

I've been looking into this as well since I'm moving to Europe. The UK, Canadian, Hong Kong, French etc. websites list it as "free voltage". Some US authorized Samsung dealers also list their models as voltage free. I would find it odd if only the US one is restricted to 120V. I just called Samsung to ask, but I don't think the support staff even knew what I was asking about. My PS4 and Xbox One are also both listed as 120V only, but actually include a free voltage PSU inside. I guess I'll give it a try when I get to Europe and see what happens. Let me know if you find any information. I've been looking into this as well since I'm moving to Europe. The UK, Canadian, Hong Kong, French etc. websites list it as "free voltage".

I have asus eee netbook 1005peb and my power plug says it handles up to 240v. I have used it in Vietnam with no converter (and the outlet, though it looked goofy, did accept my US plug) and it was fine.

Hi Constanza,I dont believe this is a problem because the monitor uses very little power. My son and his wife used it and I saw it work very well.However you do need an adapter or a converter in order to use with 220.An adapter is worth having. I used the adapter on my trips, and it's inexpensive.You can purchase it here at Amazon. Good luck,Yaelle
