not an electrician, but I'm guessing someone will know off the bat, got a EeePC 900a with an EU power brick/cord, will this work in US with just a simple adapter like (
https://www.amazon.com/Unidapt-Europe-Quality-Adapter-Converter/dp/B077W89DK1) this one, or do I need a proper converter that would actually change the voltage/amperage? would not want to blow the now almost antique specimen sky-high.
thanks.

It depends.
Some power bricks can handle different voltages and will say so on the label (ie. 110-220V) and others are restricted to the specific voltage of the region they're sold in. If the brick isn't designed to work with 110V, you will need a proper converter or a US specific brick that fits.

Yes, that should be fine. If it has a cloverleaf power inlet then it should be easy to get a cable and avoid needing to use an adapter.

The label says 100-240V on it, so it will be fine unless the brick itself is broken.

should be good to go then, thanks.
