Laptops, much like external hard-drives, printers and many other peripherals
come with adapter that are built to handle different voltage levels. Read
the reference on the adapter regardless. If you worry, get a convertor that
operates at the socket level. Such convertors are usually more expensive
than the required cable.
Best wishes and good luck,
