I’m going to be traveling to Korea shortly and just realized that I need a power adapter for my devices. Does anyone know where I can buy this in Hsinchu?
Or is this something I should just buy when I get to Korea?
Thanks
What kind of devices are we talking about specifically?
iPhones and MacBooks
Phone chargers tend to be specific, you could get a passive adapter for it and they’re fairly cheap. Macbooks, if you want something cleaner than a passive adapter, the AC portion of it can be replaced with various local ones.
The EU adapter you have shown seems to be the one I need.
Do you know where in Hsinchu I can buy these plug adapters?
Check Computer Street, maybe NOVA.
Otherwise if you are in Taipei before your flight, Guanghua should have the macbook specific ones.
Adapters may also be found at 3C stores like 燦坤3C (Tsan Kun)
If you have some time till your trip, Shopee might just be more convenient.
Seems quite pricey compared with Shopee or a local everything store though. It’s almost like they’re trying to overcharge people already traveling.
Well yeah. But it’s a oncer so nice to have.
Is any new phone not USB C? Go back a gen with iPhones and they’re lightning, but there are usb-c to lightning cables. I bet you can get a little USB charger (bring your own cables) for like $3 once you’re there, probably right in the airport.
Absolutely, but the bricks themselves cannot change the prongs.
I don’t personally like buying the cheap ones because they may deliver unclean power or not support fast charging.
