Not needed - the EEE and I guess just about all current notebooks  
come with
auto-ranging power supplies. TBH if it had been needed, I'd not have  
gone
with the U.S. model - ICBA dragging a big clunky  
transformer^W^W^Wnice compact
plug around with it. However, I knew it had an auto-ranging PSU - it  
was only
a question of the physical plug arrangement.
