NZ uses 220 volts not 120. You can get converters but it is a hassle. Most computers support both power rates 120 and 220. I got ri of anything electrical when I came over except my vacuum cleaner and a drill. I got a power converter to use. The will run just slightly slower because we are 50 cycles and the US/120 uses 60 cycles per second.

I would tell you you might want to think about replacing things after you get here unless it is valuable. You can fin thingd even in the US that support dual - things like hair dryers, etc,.

Hope this helps.
