Q: Using new Mac Book Air in the UK

Hi All!

I just purchased a Mac Book Air and am planning on going to the UK soon, but am not sure what I need to purchase to use my MBA there properly. Any advice would be most appreciated!

Thank you!

Just an adapter for the plug so that you can use it with the electrical outlets they have there.

Oh great - okay! So I just need the three-prong plug adaptor, but now do I need any type of adaptor in terms of power differences between the the US/CAN and the UK?

Thanks!

Nope, your MBA will do that for you: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1981.

Oh wow! I didn't realize it was able to auto-switch - that is an excellent feature.

Thank you very much!
