What should I bring with me to Europe?
Traveling from US to Germany next year with my HP Pavillon laptop. What do you recommend I get in terms of equipment? Additional battery? Cables? What about connecting to the Internet? What have you done and what products worked well for you? Where did you buy the stuff and how much was it?

Well first of all, you're definitely going to have to get an outlet adapter. Their outlets are totally different from the ones that we have in the States. So unless you plan on just using your laptop for 3 hours (or however long a battery lasts), I would get one of those. As far as connecting the internet and all that jazz goes, I think your standard wireless card should do, although I'm not sure. I think you can access wireless in internet cafes, and places like those. Good luck and I hope you have fun in Germany!

Get something to convert the power to your laptop. Also be aware that the manufactureres warrenty is void as soon as you leave the US. Bring a case with padding for protection. Make sure your computer has the basic antivirus/spyware protection. A flash drive is a great tool and small enough to carry everyday (size of a cigerette lighter)

they have different voltages coming out of the wall. not sure what volts but a converter from us to Europe volts to charge ur laptop. I sure any radio shack will carry it and know what your talking about. as far as everything else i believe its universal

I took mine to Norway last year and only needed a plug adapter. The power cord for your computer coverts the power for you. Just check the box in the middle of your cord and make sure it says the higher voltage on it. All the newer ones do. Some hotels and Internet Cafes provide Internet connections but it is costly. I'd check into that before I go. Have a great trip!

Your notebook model is shipped with universal power adapter so you can use it any where in the world. As the wall pin outlet varies from region to region you need to buy wall socket by contacting any retailer after reaching Germany
