Dear Sir/Madam,

I am bringing my laptop to China. Could you please tell me the
shape of the fitting needed to plug in? I have a range here to
choose from.

Thank you

Dear Readers,
If you are planning on using a foreign electrical device in
China you may need a plug-in adaptor and a voltage converter.
Electrical current in China is 220V and 50Hz AC. To choose the
proper voltage converter first check the labeling of your
electrical device(s) to find out the voltage and wattage. You need
a voltage converter that can handle a higher or equal wattage than
that of the device that it is to be used with. You should also
bring your surge protector in order to safeguard sensitive and
expensive items such as laptops against power surges.
China has different shaped plug-in connections for power cords.
There are two basic kinds, one is a three-headed flat and
diagonally positioned connection and a two pin parallel connection.
You can bring an adaptor set with you or buy one in an electronics
store in China.
