Frequency is not a problem with any computer (that I'm aware of).
All of Apple's specs show 50-60 cycles.

In any event, every converter I've ever seen for international
travel converts voltage and adapts prongs only. The converters, be
they transformers or solid state, just convert the voltage.
Frequency isn't an issue
today with any electronic gear (of course, AFAIK).
