im going to Europe next week (Rome) and need to bring my laptop,although im not sure what i need to plug it into the hotel room without frying it.Some kind of adaptor? Where can i buy it? Wallmart,Home Depot or the Source?

Its a Sony Vaio and the adaptor on the power cord reads:

Sony Ac Adaptor
19.5 V
Input:100V-240V
Output:19.5 V

im not sure what i need.

Just an adaptor so the plug works in Rome. Your AC adaptor works for the 230V in Europe too...

Your AC Adaptor is an automatic switching, already. See? 100-240v. You'll just need a cable that plugs into it. Hit a nerdshop in Rome. Bring your power cable that plugs into the back of the power supply, tell them you need one like that, for their native plug. Probably cost ya all of $10.

Places like RadioShack will sell you a packet of international adapters - covers most areas and no problems with Europe. Prob costs under $20.
