    Hey Guys,

    I have a macbook pro and macbook air both brought from the UK hence the adaptor only supports 220V. But am currently in the USA and in order to connect my machines to the 110V outlets here do i need a step down transformer or just a 110V adaptor for the outlet?

    Hope someone can clarify this for me.

    Thanks

    I just switched the end with Europe type and plugged in. I've got the World Travle Adapter Kit. This was from NY to Norway.

    Yeah, all notebook power supply's are 110/220 volt A/C auto switching all you need is a UK to US power lead or adaptor, that only cost a £5 or so.
