Answer 1 :
JUST BRING A LAPTOP CASE HELLO.
Answer 2 :
I don't think it would break, just get a universal plug, those have regulators that make the power standard to whatever country's end you plug it into.
Answer 3 :
You would have to get a power adapter that would work in Spain otherwise yes when you try to plug in the US adapter it will break.
Answer 4 :
Take your laptop with you, however you will need a voltage converter that will let you use your standard 110V plug in a European 220V outlet.
Answer 5 :
if its a lower voltage than here in the us then ur kinda fine but if its higher i would leave it home
Answer 6 :
It will be okay. I've used my laptop in Europe, Asia and the Americas and it's worked fine. On your power cable, there's an AC Adapter. If you look at the writing on it, you will find and input and and output description. The output will say something like '12.5V - 3.34A'. The input will say '100-240V 1.5A 50/60 Hz'. That means you can plug into any socket within those parameters. Spain is 240v.
Answer 7 :
Yes and no, Europe has different voltages and plugs then the US (I'm assuming you American) but I don't think you can even plug it in to the socket so.... You can get adapters so you can plug it in while overseas.
Answer 8 :
You will need a voltage converter because the voltage in Spain is 230 volts AC. You might not need one though if the "Power Brick" on your laptop's AC charger cord can accept 220/240. Look at the bottom of it for acceptable input voltages
