Using my MacBook in Japan

Hi,

I live in the UK and bought my MacBook here. I need to take it for work purposes to Japan and was wondering if it will be okay to use the power adapter on their mains (obviously I will have to buy and adapter for the plug but it is the Voltage and power I'm worried about). I think they have 100V and 50Hz compared to 220V and 50Hz here in the UK. Please excuse my complete ignorance about this stuff!

Thanks

MacBook Mac OS X (10.4)

Welcome to Japan, I'm sure you'll have a wonderful time---I sure do.

Your MacBook will work just fine, just be sure to have a plug adapter (the right prong adapter) since you're coming from the UK---the MacBook is designed to handle the voltage anywhere in the world.

And, if you have any trouble, most of the people working in the Apple stores here in Japan speak English---and the service is second to none!

No worries 🙂

I took my old ibook to tokyo in January and used it with a basic plug adaptor (the ones you can get at the airport) with no problems whatsoever. I have no reason to believe the macbook will be any different.
