Not Megawatts but volts yes the usa uses 110 volt and most of the rest of the world uses 220-240. laptop companies know this so there powersupplies cover the range 110-240volts. depending on the model you should also be able tochange the Video format from NTS to PAL assume that you use pal system. if its cheaper then go for it. all the best RR
