    Yeah, it can be solved using an adapter. As a person who use to live overseas a lot and use different plugs... lol.. It'll work :)

    is your wall socket 220v ? or is that the socket holes are being different ?

    our m11x power adaptor takes from 100v to 240v. it has 2 detachable parts, adaptor to m11x, and power cable connecting adaptor to the wall socket. so if U.S plug can't be used on your wall socket, you can simply buy a power cable section that does fit your wall socket, or buy a adaptor goes between your wall and U.S plug.

    o alrite sweet to be honest i wasnt too sure if justsimply getting an international plug will work because i was told america and australia uses different voltage from the wall socket. australia uses 240voltage from wallsocket whereas the americans one are i think 120.
    k so what your both saying is get an international plug and im good to go? :) im really hoping this is it or else will be annoying lol.

    All laptops trend to have multi voltage power supplies, because this is the whole point of having a laptop - portability for travel. Can't think of one laptop that doesn't have a multi voltage power supply.
