    My sister is bringing her laptop to her trip to Korea and she's looking for a cheap, reliable solution to charge her laptop with 220V outlet. She goes on the trip in a week and would prefer a fast-shipping retailer such as Amazon.

    Thanks in advance. :)

    The standard adapter should work on 220v. You just need to find a physical socket adapter.

    Yeap, all you need is an adaptor which you can buy here at Homeplus for around 1000 Won or $1, they are super cheap.

    What part of South Korea she going to visit, I've been here four years now.

    I live in Seoul...Just a plain old plastic adapter, which you can buy for less than a dollar in Seoul. She doesn't need to go to Amazon. She can probably just buy an adapter at one of the many random electronics shacks here.

    She should probably be more worried about a hair dryer. If she needs one, she should just buy one here since many hair dryers purchased in the US will not convert voltages.

    She'll be in Seoul for several months. So the standard charger can be used on both 120V and 220V? That's better than I thought. :)

    All computers are made that way. They know people travel with them. I've been to Seoul twice and only go when I have to.
