i'm looking to plug it in in Israel
The UK 3 pin plug doesn't fit the israeli one but I can get a simple adaptor for that.
Am I right in thinking that if it fits then fine..the laptop will get the right volts and will be fine?

I don't think there are any power systems around the world that's outside of the 100-240V range (that being the whole point).
You'll just need an adaptor for the weird Israeli plug and you're away and rocking.

I have said this before, but I really like the IBM Lenovo AC/DC Combo Adaptor Model 22P9003! I originally got the idea from Capt. Dogfish. It is 72 Watts, with an AC input of 100-240V / 50-60 HZ or DC input of 13-18VDC. The output is a nice, Toughbook friendly, 16V 4.5A(Voltage/Current) and is great for when you are running the Toughbook out of the car!
It will fit the CF-29, CF-50 and others. I really like the idea of just one power brick. I scored a brand new, from the USA, one on eBay for $15 and free shipping. Many are sold without the DC cord, so pay close attention when shopping.
Here is the kit I out together out of an International Plug kit at my local Thrift Shop. I think that I paid $4. The DC Car cable is at the bottom and I also carry a USB extender for that problematic occluded side USB on the CF-29. This will allow me to power most anywhere. I am still looking for the power adapter cable used with the outlet on aircraft seats.

@ Azrial If your IBM adapter has the same DC cable as mine the backside of the cigarette plug comes apart and is an airline plug.

And you're worried about what AC adapters you use? I hope you have a good fire department and wear rubber gloves and only rubber soled shoes

As I am sure that we can all agree, it is a well known fact that electricity can smell fear. As long as you show it you are the boss and will not be intimidated, I think that you will be OK.
Sometimes if it is being particularly vexing I will recite Ohm's Law as a kind of incantation and to demonstrate my superior knowledge of its essence. I find this as a particularly effective means of putting it in its place.
YMMV....
