Yes you can bring your laptop and you should already have a 110-220 Volt adaper for your laptop when you purchase it. look at your electric adapter for laptop and it should have cord specification listed on cord.
Someone else who responded if your cord is not 220 capable you can purchase a voltage regular for about $50.00. The price is more like $19.99. You can purchase travel pak voltage regulars for small appliances at stores such as Walmart, KMart, Target and like stores. You probably won't need it because your computer laptop already came with adapter that is 220 capable.
One thing other responders did not mention. If you want to use your laptop for Internet service, you can do so by purchasing pre-paid internet like calling cards at 7-11 or Mini Stop convience stores or at National bookstore. You can slo use laptop at Internet Cafee's that have reserved broadband connections just for laptop users .
If you asked a laptop question, I can only assume this may be your first visit to the Philippines. I hope you have communicated with others with experience about the Philippines before you actually visit.There is much you should know before visiting. |

Yes you can bring your laptop and laptop charger with you.
I do suggest that depending where you are staying, that you ask first before plugging in your laptop. In Manila, at the Hotels I have stayed, there is usually no problem. You will probably find plenty of US run 110V. Most Hotels there have them. but if you are traveling away from the metropolitan area I might suggest you bring with you a voltage transformer or converter. I have stayed at some hotels out in the provence that have mostly 220Volts available and every once in a while they might also have a 110 as well. bust be safe than sorry. Always ask. Some hotels offer for free the converter for your electronics. If you want to make sure, buy one at a Radio Shack. they go anywhere from $40 to $60 |

Your laptop should have an auto volt charger or power supply for your battery. So plugging to the 220VAC in the Philippines should not be a problem. But do check this out as well to be certain. Your power supply should have this printef on the powersupply body or your pamphlet.
Another consideration is the three prong plug that you are using on your power supply plug. You would normally have a ground pin or center plug together with the two flat parallel plugs. You can easily get an adaptor that has a three prong connector at one side and two prong plug at the other end. This should cost you around 50 cents to a dollar if you would be getting one from the Philippines. |

Yes, most definitely. But just make sure that your computer has dual voltage (110/220V) since US run 110V and Philippines is 220V. If not, you can use voltage transformer or converter. |

Yes, you can, but be forewarned, always bring your laptop with you onboard your flight, don't check it in for baggage because as soon as you get it back, it might already be destroyed or damaged beyond repair and sometimes stolen :D Have a safe trip! Oh yeah follow the other people's advice, do bring a Converter. :P |

Most Hotels has 110v outlets.
But also check your computers adapter if how much voltage it can take by direct plug.
Most of these portable computers is travel friendly check if it says 110v-240v.
If it does, then your safe to plug it almost anywhere.
If it requires 110v only. You will need a transformer.
Or buy a travel adapter. |

|
YES of course.
buy or borrow an adaptor because here all of our appliances are 220 volts. that is, if your laptop is 110 volts. |
