Thread: Charging Laptops.

Salutations:

I was wondering, would I be able to charge my laptop in the library or at home? I probably would need to purchase a transformer but would I have to bring my transformer everywhere with me if I want to charge my laptop? Or would all the plugs on campus already have a transformer so that I can just plug in my adapter and charge my batteries? Thanks.

Just like glade,
plug it in plug it in

you dont need a transformer on campus power is the same as the states

most apt on the dutch side are the same as the states

the french is different

the skipper

actually the whole dutch power grid is the same as the us.

If you discount the voltage fluxuations, the brownouts, and the blackouts, yea, it's identical.

If you're using a desktop, get a UPS, don't risk it.

good point, dont just get a power strip with a surge protector. Put all of your electronics on an UPS, i cant tell you the number of folks that lost computer files, external hard driver and the entire contents of their MP3 players.

as well as back up everything. i am speaking from having my external drive get zapped twice losing over 20 gigs of info that i could never get back
