qatar power requirements

Hello,
I'm coming over from the UK Insha Allah. I have this laptop inside which I carry my entire life (well, not literally!) but it is almost as important to me as my left arm.
Do I need to buy some kind of power convertor for it when I use it in Qatar or is a plug adaptor all I would need? It is built to European spec. Does this go for all UK/European made electrical appliances?

Thanks v much in advance for the advice, and I apologise if this topic has already been discussed on this forum!

Thanks all round guys I'm glad it's the same and hopefully things will run smoothly. Yeah, those hand luggage restrictions suck big time, I was busy measuring the case carefully lol, I hope they relax the rules a little.
