Planning a trip to US, what adapter for my notebook & Mobile
Two things to consider ... electrical & physical:
Electrical - laptop power supplies nowadays can handle most countries (definitely US). Check on the power supply for something like "Input voltage 110-240 50/60Hz" If it says that, no problem.
Physical - UK/Singapore three pin plugs will need an adaptor to fit in US 2 or 3 pin plugs. You can buy these at the airport, at Funan, DIY shops, loads of places. If you fly SQ, you can even buy on the plane! You can either buy the cheapo ones which are 'fixed' for only the US style, probably about S$5 to S$10, or get the more flexible ones which can be used in many other countries too, but obviously cost a bit more, say S$25 to S$40.
Enjoy your trip
