Laptop In Russia?

[Michael Denner]

My experience with a laptop in Russia & Europe is that it ran perfectly fine
with nothing other than a plug adapter. I plugged my laptop into the wall in
France and Russia for months and it's still running 3 years later.

Since computers run on DC power (converted in the little box that bisects
the cord), anyway, voltage differences should not matter, so long as the
converter is rated to handle the higher voltage. I remember someone telling
me once that the irregular current in Russia will damage your converter over
time, but those things are pretty inexpensive to replace, so I wouldn't
worry.

Hope that helps,
mad
