    Laptop - Dual Voltage for Overseas Trip?

    Tried googling, not a lot of luck, figured maybe you guys might know.

    My laptop is an HP Envy m6 Notebook, been searching for information on this but I haven't had much luck. I'm traveling overseas (Europe) for spring break, but I don't know if my computer will automatically switch voltages. Last time I was in Europe (2004), my computer had a toggle switch on the back of the tower for different voltages, nothing like that on this laptop though. Bf said that my iPhone should switch automatically, just wondering if my laptop will do the same or if there is some setting I need to adjust manually before I plug it in and fry the damn thing. Anyone know?

    Actually can lock this up, I just found the info on this ... figures I spend 30 minutes googling then post a thread and almost immediately find it. Seems that my laptop should be fine, as the power converter says "wide range input" and also shows 100-240V, for any who were curious and didn't know.

    Yeah, it's the power brick that has to support the differing voltages, not the laptop. 100-240v listed range on the brick means you're good to go. Hopefully you're not unlucky like me where my brick died after a day of being plugged into a 240v outlet lol... was like 3 years old at that point.
