    I'm going overseas in a week,and am taking my laptop with me. I've read where some laptops can change from one voltage to another. I dont see any switch on mine,so,does this model change voltage,or,will I have to use a converter. Thank in advance for any reply.:)

    Look at your power supply, it should have a input range (mine shows) 100 - 240 volts, 50-60hz. I believe with that range you should be good for overseas. You will need an outlet adapter, European outlets have different configurations (assuming you are traveling from the States to Europe). Do confirm the ac power supply in the counrty you plan to visit.
