Hello all,

I'm heading to Norway tomorrow and my girlfriend will be bringing along her 12" Powerbook. I know about Apple's World Travel Adapter Kit but do I need it if I have one of those converting kits? The problem I see is that it only has the two main pegs, no ground.

Thanks for any information.

I think as long as you have a Norwein to American plug adapter, your set. Laptops run on dual voltage - 110/220 and so does the Powerbook

All of Apple's recent (i.e. in the last 5 years or so) laptop power supplies are capable of taking any voltage the world can throw at it: 110-240V, 50-60Hz. You can read it in the fine print on the adaptor. All you need is an adaptor to convert the Norwegian plugs to American plugs, You don't need a transformer.

Thanks all, then my question should be: will I have any problem if the ground isn't pluged in? There are only two pegs in my adapters...

Actually, that's all Apple laptop adapters ever made. They have always been world-compatible (as were most Macs made before Apple released any laptops at all).

IIRC the North American first revision G5 iMacs were 110-130V only; the worldwide version was 110-240V.

Yes but that was a desktop model. The laptops all have support for both 50 and 60Hz and 110,120,240 volts.

You recall correctly, but as aristotles pointed out, it's irrelevant!

Well, thanks everyone! I'm packing my stuff, getting some sleep and I'm off to Norway!

Heh, this sounds like a title for a Movie.
