Another SAMSUNG Chromebook 2 question

Today I posted a query regarding where to buy a 13.3" screen Samsung Chromebook 2 and was very kindly pointed in the right direction by another member - thank you !

However, the chromebook is £160 cheaper buying from the US, even with the tax. I do realise that I would need a UK plugged power charger.
My questions are....would a normal UK Samsung chromebook charger work ok?, or can anyone again point me in the right direction for some sort of Universal charger?
Thanks

    International Warranty? If not and you have a problem are you going to pack it up and sent it back to the USA?
    Though to be fair, the machine on Amazon is also from the USA.

    Just for completeness, most gadgets will have one charger that's compatible, voltage-wise, internationally. If you look at the charger, it should say 110-240V. Then you just need to find the pins that fit in your wall.

    I actually bought the chromebook from the US at about 60% of the Amazon price (inc taxes). An International warranty for 3 years, with accidental "drop and drip" insurance was only £55, so quite chuffed and saved a few bob too!
