Hello,

I've recently bought the helios 300 from amazon us for the black friday.

Since i live in uk i had to use an adapter to plug the charger/power supply in.

I've read that US voltage(120V) is different than UK'S (230V). 
Some people told me that it doens't matter since nowdays' laptops have chargers suitable for worlwide's voltages.

So my question is: should I bother buy a voltage converter? Since they are quite expensive.

Thanks,

    You're fine the adapter's are prepared to work with any voltages in the world wherever you are but if you're too worried you can always get a UK adapter 😊
