i have traveled in Philippines with laptop. The chargers (at least for Dell and one off brand) were 112/240 volt interchangeable. I can't conceive of any manufacturer doing it any other way! MichaelJoel,
I may be able to help but I can't easily tell what geographical location you are. I'm in South Australia (Austaralia) where the biggest hurdle might be converting our 240V electricity and connectors to whatever you have at your end...

(1) I don't have kids but I have a friend whose toddler switched the 240V switch to 110V and BOOM went her computer...
