UK Power Supply

[rrgmitchell]

The supplied power supply, (US or EU), can be used in the UK with the proper external plug adapter.

If you want a power supply that has the adapter as part of the power supply, use this one;

Could the shop details be updated to hilight this issue or even a sticky in the forum.

My excitement at receiving my PBP was somewhat muted when I realised that I'm going to have to use a travel adaptor to plug the device in.

Ordering the PSU with the necessary adaptor is going to cost me over $20 + taxes - the shipping is more than the adaptor or more likely I'll end up trawling through the net to find a suitable adaptor.

Would have been happy to pay a little extra for the adaptor with the initial order or make it a choice like the keyboard layout at the checkout - doesn't seem fair to penalise UK users.

I completely agree with James. Buyers in the UK should be warned that they will be sent a power supply that they cannot use without additional kit. After all, specifying a UK keyboard is a big hint that the laptop is destined for use in the UK!  It's annoying to have excitedly unwrapped my package only to discover that I am going to have to order something else to be able to use it.
