    I'm thinking of importing an Asus G50V to europe, and I want to know if asus power supplies can take 220v.

    Thanks in advance.

    They can. Most laptop power bricks can work from 100-220V.

    That's correct. Once you have the correct wall cable (available in EU for ~10EUR in stores) the adapter itself will take any voltage/frequency combination in use around the world.
