Hello sir,
I'm looking to buy Y500 from USA,but I will most probably return it to India and I will be using it there. As i am in immideate need to buy, I cannot delay the purchase till I go..So my doubt is, will I be able to use the one I got here in India as there is power difference (110V here, to 220V there).. Please do answer..

If the adapter supports it, then no problem otherwise just buy a new adapter here.

yes u can use the adapter in india but u will have to use a adapter which will cost u from 500-1000

Any idea where to get the adapter from??
And @anupam_pb, I believe you own one.. How is it??
And about its power cord too..
Where can I get it from? Or are there any 200V to 110V converter I could use??
Thanks

How much I know, I think the pins(for socket) are different in US & India.
So I guess you must buy a new power cord for the adapter or a covertor. Converter would be cheaper but in either case your adapter must support 220V supply.
