Taking my iMac from USA to India - Power Cord

Yes, the power supply is capable of sensing the input voltage and adjusting automatically. This is typical of most modern GOOD QUALITY electronics these days.

When I travelled to Scotland I just plugged my camera's charger (normally used in Canada) into the appropriate adapter which then went into their wall socket (providing the higher voltages.) No worries. It just handled the higher voltages.

The Core Duo iMac will work perfectly on that power in India (assuming you are going to an area where the power is stable.) So yes, you just need the correct adapter so you can plug your standard North American plug into that to fit their particular socket.

David,

Yes, you were wise to copy the entire spec (rather than just the voltage portion that I copied.)

It may well be that in India, the maximum operating temperature is a greater concern than the supply voltage.

I think about the whole environment a little more perhaps. You live in a temperate rain forest, that barely has 2 months of what one could actually call heat. I live on a desert plain that is 100° for weeks on end and can have unbearable humidity one week and be parching dry the next. I am concerned about my Mac often. Fortunately we have the same electricity as you.
