    I lost my manufactured-for-the-US Surface Pro charger while living in Taiwan, got a replacement Taiwan 110V/50hz adapter that I’ve used for years with no issues. Is that the norm? No idea.

    (And, never fear, the Surface Pro runs Linux now so no Microsoft hate needed at this particular moment.)

      AFAIK most “chargers” can deal with a wide range of voltage and frequency. They’re basically transformers that are transforming AC to the desired DC voltage and the mechanism at least my Ankor chargers use seems to work at pretty much any reasonable range (read any country’s implementation) of AC voltage and frequency.
