I just purchased an Dell 8500 laptop for my daughter, about a week
ago, and she just found out she is now going to spend spring semester
in London. What do I need to do to allow the power to work in the UK?
Is it as simple as obtaining a UK terminal adapter, and switching a
switch on the Dell power cube to 250 V? Or do I need to purchase a
separate UK-comaptible power cube? Anyone with any experience?
Also purchased the Canon i70 Bubble Jet through Dell as well. Do I
need a special power cube for that as well.

any reply here or at my email address: raelelectricrazr at iwon.com
would be appreciated.

I think that the Dell I8500 is simple (based on the Dell I8200, which I
have), the power supply is "Universal" & is good for both the UK & the
USA as you should find that it states it will work 100-240V ac & 50-60Hz
(UK is 240Vac 50Hz). You just need a power plug adapter.

However double-check the power supply for the Canon Printer!! I don't
know this particular Canon, but was surprised when I bought a portable
Canon Printer & discovered it had a Country-Specific Power Supply.
