Do I need a voltage converter for my Surface tablet in Rome?
I have a Surface Pro with charger that comes with box.
I checked Rome is using 220v and Canada is using 120v and is using some weird power plug like 3 holes in a line.
But as I remember all laptop charger is universal, so I guess I don't need a voltage converter?
And I wonder if hotels normally will have some power plug or converter for travellers?
Or do I have to buy one in Toronto Canada?
