Using Mac Book in China

hi
The power outlet there is similar to the ones here, but with two of the smaller leg.

I suggest you buy a adapter in China because it's **** cheap there

1 or 2 dollars.

Miss the price over there hah..:)

Nope, because the power adapter support 110 - 240 volt

what you need to bring is the outlet adapter since asian electric outlet mostly 2 hole with round plug hole.

Bring an adapter just in case, but many newer outlets in China will let you plug right in without one.

I would use some kind of adapter or converter. I accidently fried a few electronics by plugging them directly into the outlets over there. Don't assume that because it fits, it'll work trouble free.

I wen to China not some 5 months ago and you will have no problems with you MacBook. Just remember to bring a few different plug adapters. For the most part my European plug worked in most hotels. Oddly, a large number of hotels had the Australian angled flat pin type plugs in the rooms.

Also, be sure to get yourself a notebook surge protector. Well worth the $20 investment.

I went to China with my multiple PBs in the past. Everywhere I went had a US 2 pin sockets. This included private residences, cruise ship, hotels (3-5 stars). If there's any issue, adaptor solutions are readily available. Even if you have to buy it, it's like US$1-2 vs the rip off prices you get charged in the US.

Don't bother taking any adaptors. In most places it will fit withouth the need for one and in the remote case you need one, the hotel will provide it for you. Worse case scenario you spend 10 RMB (1.25 USD) and that's the end of it. I lived in China for almost four years and they try to have universal power plugs almost everywere, even in the remote SW provinces.
