Bringing laptop from Canada to Italy

Bringing laptop from Canada to Italy?
I am going to Italy for 2 weeks. I was wondering if I could bring my laptop there because I don't know how I will be able to charge it. Are the outlets there differ from the once in Canada? If so, is there cheap light-weight adapter that I could purchase

The power is different and the plugs are different but if you buy a simple adapter for the plug your laptop will do the rest. You can get the plug at the airport or even your hotel should have them. Just check that your laptop takes 110-220 power (by the battery or on the power cord), which 99% of them do, and you are fine.

There are adapters - if you live in BC, go to BCAA and purchase an international adapter. But almost any store that sells luggage also sells adapters.

buy the adapter plug before you go!! I keep making this mistake when i go to Ireland and i can't find the proper one anywhere there. I can only find the reverse of what i want, plugs that would work in North America
