Can I Use My Laptop Charger in Portugal?

Yes — your laptop charger works in Portugal with just a plug adapter.

Plug adapter needed

Your device handles this country's voltage, but the plug shape is different. You need a plug adapter to fit the sockets here. A plug adapter only changes the shape — it does not change voltage, and that's fine in this case because your device already supports the local voltage.
