You don't need a voltage step down transformer for a laptop charger. All chargers nowadays support a wide range of voltages, usually from 100-250v AC so they'll work anywhere. Also keep in mind that Australia uses 240v *50Hz, * whereas many American devices are expecting *60Hz.* Most voltage transformers cannot convert frequency, and the different frequency may cause problems with some appliances.

Usually, that is incorrect. Yes. Voltages change between different regions, but for (example) laptops, the brick that is attached to the charging cable is (usually) acceptable to most voltage varients. This is also the reason why you can change the cable from the brick to the wall to accommodate for different plug styles.
This also works with most phone chargers.
Always look on the input section of the charger to see which variance of Voltages it is acceptable to.

Your laptop does not need a stepdown converter, you ding-dong.

[MisterrVi]

if you're like me and your phone came with a European plug instead of NA, check the voltage that the power cube accepts to determine if I need a step down converter.

[Mbarnstein]

Some labtop chargers need a voltage converters, but many don't.

All my south Africa 2pin plugs dont work on my adapter that you showed. Only my laptop works. Had to buy new usa usbc phone charger and its not fast charger😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭so where do i check voltage? Will google things

[FriendlyMxdder]

What about if I have a UK appliance (UK Plug) that needs to be plugged into a US plug? What kind of adapter do I need

[jca]

Every laptop I've had in the last 15-20 years can take 100-240v, so chances are you don't need a transformer.

[seaninkley]

Embarrassing for you, MacBooks actually voltage and watt regulate. Soo you actually can use that adapter.

[nikolaievans]

Also there should be a lable my apple charger says 110 to 240v so its safe on british outlets

Wow vegetarian pasta on a LH flight…what a surprise 🙄

[LisaOsta]

Modern portable electronics like Mac laptops and iPhones, iPads are dual voltage.

[okaro]

Almost all modern electronics is multi-voltage. With converters one should check they are good for electronics and not just for things like hair dryers.

However, the adapter you showed is a death trap. There are safe adapters.

Philippines: 230V, American and European Plugs

[dantegreciante]

Oh. Step down. Thought i heard step dad converter.

[Jimmothyhalpert]

So do you need a step up for the opposite scenario?

[VARDHANUDU]

Hi please reply to me.
I bought a laptop in US to India... Do I need any converter ?
Please reply.

[angelopeiris]

What do you call the first wall outlet you showed please?

[VOLTRONDEFENDER]

Dude computer chargers are universal voltage!

Plese remove or change, this is incorrect and confuses people. Yes some devices may need a converter, but you dont for a laptop, iPad, Phone (i.e. 99% of what you travel with)
