Do the laptops can support 220V AC that is often used in Europe?

Hey there,
I want to buy a laptop in a few weeks and I was wondering whether Acer laptops, especially Predator Triton that I am currently aiming for, can support AC of 220V. In the US, the majority of residents are built upon 110V, and so most electrical devices can support that, but some might not be able to withstand that.
Does the Power Supply take care of that? Or do I maybe need to order some sort of different device or hardware for it?

    The voltage is universal as the power supply goes through a transformer and the supply to the transformer can accommodate 110 volts to 240 volt, it’s only the end of the power plug that is different and if you are in the UK then you have to change that if the plug is for the US or get an adaptor, simple. This applies to and for any laptop, smartphone etc as they are the same.
