    Power adaptors for Argentina

    Probably a dumb question, but . . .

    I'm taking a laptop to Argentina. Does anyone know what sort of power adaptors I might need? Would I just need a travel adaptor plug or should I get something with built in surge protection?

    Any advice on this, or where i might be able to find out, would be much appreciated.

    Surge protection is always a good idea in a foreign country....so if youcan - take some.

    as for adaptors - im not sure which one they use but you will undoubtedly be able to pick one up from the airport.

    All you need for a laptop is a replacement kettle/cassette/cloverleaf with the right mains plug on (prob 2 pin) or a 3 pin to 2 pin adaptor, you dont need to worry about voltages as laptop bricks are switchmode, so take anything between ~100 and 250.
