| May 10, 2019 at 19:58 | comment | added | Nick | If this is for a business trip, the local IT support team might have a suitable cord they could give you. On previous business trips, I have done exactly this and then 'neglected' to return the cord afterwards. I now have a selection of power cords - UK, US and European - which will plug in to the power adaptor for my laptop. I now just take the right one with me when I travel. | |
