LAPTOP USE ABROAD

It is relatively easy to use most laptops abroad because their AC adapters are usually dual-voltage. If your adapter is dual-voltage (and, of course, double-check that it is), you'll need only the following to safely use your laptop outside North America:
  1. A 220-volt surge protector
  2. (in countries with 220-volt electricity); and
  3. An adapter plug to enable the surge protector (or AC adapter) to be plugged into the electrical outlet of the foreign country.

Note - If you will be using "dial-up" to connect to the Internet, you will also need the following:
  1. A modem adapter, so you can plug your modem into a telephone jack in a foreign country; and
  2. A phone-line-tester to determine whether the phone system is digital or analog (only analog is safe for your modem).


   
EuroSurgeVoltage Valet.jpg EuroSurge™ Protector (for 220-240 volt electricity)
$45.00

Don't fry your laptop (or other sensitive equipment) in countries with 220 or 240 volt electricity.

Includes indicator lights which let you know that the surge protection circuit is working. Has a European grounded plug for use in Europe (except in the U.K., Italy, Switzerland, and parts of Denmark, where you will need a special plug adapter) and for use in Eastern European countries. Compatible with ALL laptops.

    Coolift.jpg Cool-Lift™
    $10.00

    Cool-lift™ is a revolutionary product that extends notebook and battery life. As an added benefit, it improves body posture and wrist comfort.

    How does it extend battery and notebook life?
    Laptops and notebooks generate a great deal of heat. The heat puts an enormous strain on the batteries and circuitry of your computer, reducing their longevity.

    How does it improve posture and comfort?
    Cool-lift™ was scientifically designed to angle your computer for better body posture. Its risers angle the computer at approximately 8 degrees - ideal for typing and taking the strain off your back and wrists.
