Hi Folks,

I'm getting a relative in Canada to buy a 17" MBP for me (I'm paying for it), then send it to me in New Zealand. I'm assuming I need at least either a different connector for the MBP power supply (NZ and AUS are slightly different) or a simple plug adapter but might I also need a transformer or anything?

This is the only potential problem I can think of with my new machine - any advice you can give will be much appreciated!

Thanks!

I have used my Uk laptops all around the world, I have simply had to buy different ends.
 
the power bricks have removable adapter tips, so all you need to do is purchase a additional tip that works in New Zealand.
 
or buy a 3rd party adapter that changes the plug for a fraction of the price
