Answer 1 :
Electric plug here in Singapore has 3 hole and 240v. Better buy a transformer from there and bring it here. I remember my boyfriend bought a digital clock from US and i plug it here i thought he bought a broke one but then he found out that i didn't use a transformer and i plug it directly. Buy a 240v transformer for asia.
Answer 2 :
Before you go out and buy a transformer, check your individual items to see if you need them - the power cord for your laptop probably has a 110-240v input range (you can check it on the panel on the back/bottom), so you can use it in Singapore with just a simple adapter, that you can pick up for a few cents, rather than going to the expense of a transformer. Same for all your other chargers..check them out before you buy a transformer
Answer 3 :
I am very sure all Laptop power supply is AUTO V ( works for 110V TO 240 v ) AS Singapore is 220 V / USA IS 110 V . only you need a adaptor to change from US 2 P to Local 3 P . every ways is sailing, cost SGD just 3 dollars For a studies , i advice you to buy one set of WORLD LAPTOP Traver converter kit ( complete with world power plug with 5ft extension cable , world phone plug/socket with6ft cable ,i-pod ,mp3 other audio earphones and ac adaptor connect/socket ) Our IT mall, Funam / Sim Lim sailing at SGD 23 + with small handy casing . i believe you need all this things in you room for the Laptop .Oh ! be good to study here .
Answer 4 :
You also can buy the step-down transformer in Singapore. Any major electrical stores should have them. The electric wall outlets in SIngapore is rectangular 3-pin and 240V.
Answer 5 :
don't buy the transformer from Us, buy them in Singapore
