Laptop US/UK Compatibility? O/T

[federicoed-up]

Hi guys, a quick question

I've ordered a lappy from ebay from the US which was too good a bargain to refuse, even when factoring in shipping/VAT from HM's scum.

What I want to know is whether the power supply that comes with the computer is safe to use plugged into a US to UK plug adaptor..? or alternatively would i need to buy a new power supply specifically for the job?

Thanks!!

I am far from an expert but my British laptop worked fine in the States without any adaptor so I assume that a US one would work OK in UK

Generally will be ok as most laptops are designed to travel Check it's 240V compatible first though otherwise you'll toast it.
