Converters or Adapters
 

I will be traveling to Buenos Aires and want to know if I need a convertor or adapter or both. I will be using a laptop and small appliances, and info would be helpful, thanks.

I was wondering the same in case I need to take the Mac laptop on the next trip. Do I only need an adapter plug and if so what kind of plugs are used in Buenos Aires? Are they the same style used in Europe (round ones) or the flat style like here in the States? Happy Travels!

Our electricity is 220 W, so you may need a converter. Most laptops have one built in.

About the plugs, they are flat, but slanted.

Adapters are easily available.

Thanks. I'll go to the travel store and see if I can find an adapter for Buenos Aires. Happy Travels!

Folks,

Here's a link to a site that shows the various adapter plugs in most every country you'd ever visit.

This page shows the various adapter plugs.

Click on "More -- Electric Power Around the World -- A Plug and Voltage Guide" at the bottom of the page to see what countries use what adapter.

Thanks. I'll check it out. I have a plug for Europe and was hoping I wouldn't have to buy another one. Smiles. Happy Travels!

Well, it looks like I might not have to buy a new plug! Happy Travels!
