iPad2...power compatibility question

Hi-a friend (good friend!) sent me an ipad 2 from New Zealand...the power plug is NZ style 2.5A/250V and the usb adaptor is 10W. Can I just swap out the NZ style plug for a US one? Thanks!

Yes. The actual power block is the same. Only the plug adapter is different and needs to be replaced.

Thanks! Can I just use an old one from my MacBook Pro?

If it fits, yes (and I beleive it will). As should the extension that came with the MPB (if your model included that).
