    Hi. I'll be visiting france and england next week and was wondering what I will need to charge my m11x in those countries? Not sure if I need just an adapter or an adapter/converter. Can the USA m11x handle 220v, thus only needing an adapter, or can it only handle 120v, thus needing the adapter/converter?
    Thanks!

    Well it is printed 100-240V on the power supply unit. And I've used it in France (220V 50Hz) and Japan (110V 60Hz) with no problems. I live in France though and mine is a european version of course.

    Like most modern chargers alienware's charger can handle 110-230V 50-60Hz. It also says it on the charger itself. You will only need an adapter.

    The AC adapter bricks are the same worldwide, just with different cords to accomodate different plugs. You will be fine with an adapter.
