I have a laptop purchased in the US that I'm bringing to Sweden next month. Can I obtain a new power cable compatible with Swedish voltage, or should I buy a new laptop once I arrive? I'd prefer not to replace the device unless absolutely necessary. Thank you.

Search for a power adapter suited to Sweden's voltage and frequency, specifically 220v-60hz.

If it's merely a power cable, you can purchase it at any electrical shop. But if it's intended for a laptop, it might contain a transformer, so you should look for one specifically designed for your device. Power adapters could be suitable for travelers, but not necessarily for people relocating to a new country.

What is the voltage displayed on the brick within the cable?

Verify the power adapter for your laptop.
It might already accommodate the required voltage range for Sweden. In that case, only a power cable is needed.
If the adapter doesn't accept 220V input, you'll have to purchase a different one.
