which adapter for computer

My husband has to work while we are in Istanbul so will bring his laptop. On its adapter plug, it indicates in can handle input from 100-230V, so I think the only thing we need is some kind of adapter plug for the wall, right? (He might also use it in the airport in Zurich)
I am assuming a place like Radio Shack in the US carries what I need. What exactly am I asking for?

Just google something like international adapters and you should be able to see a picture of the type of plug required in Turkey, which may be different than in Switzerland. Then, you can just order it on-line. This is what we did for our trip to Italy this past winter. Check on the laptop to see if it requires a grounded plug. Ours does, so we had to make the sure the adapter was grounded, as well.

The European 2 pronged round adapter will also work in Turkey. You can buy them at Radio Shack, Wal-mart , target just about any place

Most likely you now have this?:

If this is correct, you need to buy a Schuko cable for Turkey.
