Your Laptop and International Travel

Thursday, November 12, 2009


Gmartin12 asked the Answer Line forum for advice before talking a notebook overseas.

Let’s start with the good news: You don’t have to worry about an Internet connection. That was a problem back in the days of dial-up modems, because phone systems vary between countries, and because your local ISP would have been one very expensive toll call. But ethernet and WiFi are international standards, and if your hotel doesn’t offer Internet access, a nearby café will. (Although if you have a lot of work to do and only a café to do it in, be careful about the carbs and caffeine.)
The biggest issues you’ll actually have to face are bringing your laptop across international borders, and plugging it into a power socket.
