Convertors, adapters and Mac Books - Paris, England, Italy and Ireland - help

<p>Hi,</p>

<p>I’m confused on what I need to buy for convertors and adaptors - travel is to France, England, Ireland and Italy - the majority of the time will be spent in England.</p>

<p>Most important is being sure the Mac Book Pro works, also need power to recharge camera and cell batteries.</p>

<p>Can someone point me in the right direction so I can figure out what I need to buy.
Thanks!!</p>

<p>You can just buy a converter so that you can still use your power adapter for your mac. Mainland Europe uses the same plug I thought, but for some reasons Brits like to be different again so they use another. I guess you have to buy two converters for everything to work in all countries.</p>

<p>I used this on my trip last summer. The adapter works perfectly (and comes with interchangeable plugs for every country) and can charge anything with a USB cable.</p>

<p>This is just what I was looking for and knowing it will work with all the Apple stuff is perfect. Thanks for the link</p>

<p>That thing is about 5 times more money than you need to spend. Just get a world plug adaptor thing in the airport for about $6-7. It won’t look as slick but it will work just as well.</p>

<p>But paying 5 times as much to look cool is what apple customers are all about.</p>

<p>I know from experience that Ireland has a two-pronged socket, not three-pronged. You’ll need to get an adaptor - I’d recommend the small kind that goes into the socket, and then has the three holes for our plugs on it; you stick your plug to the adaptor and then stick the adaptor into the wall. I’m not sure about the other countries.</p>

<p>What the hell are you talking about?</p>

<p>all you need to do is buy a $5 converter.</p>
