I have 2 & need to carry both on board (don’t ask why). I have a medium sized luggage that I plan to put both laptops in there just so it looks like I only got 1 carry on. I was wondering if they will say anything about having 2 Laptops?
I am not packing them into the checked in luggages to avoid damage (you know how they be throwing the luggages around). These 2 laptops are going into my hand carry bag which is a medium sized luggage. You are right about how it will take long at the security checks. I’d have to take both out & put it back in. If I have to do that to protect them both, then I will. It’s worth it. I don’t want them broken.

I don’t need to ask why – checking a laptop is an invitation to damage or theft.

I travel, internationally and domestically with two laptops regularly, and I have no problem. Putting them in one carryon is the way to go (I use a backpack).

The only problem you will have is that it takes you longer to get through security, because you have to drag them both out, then stow them both. Note it is not a problem – just takes a little longer.

I’m trying to decide what laptop to buy for my first year, and I’d love to hear other students’ opinions on which laptops they recommend, and which they don’t.

Note: In case you’re wondering, I’m going for a Bachelor of Arts in International Relations.
Also, I’m not much of a gamer or a movie watcher – so laptops with lots of space for video games or DVDs probably wouldn’t suit me.

Here’s why you should get a Mac:: There are NO CONS. The MacBook does both WinBloze and OSX, no other computer can make that statement. You have the best of the best. Apple Stores are popping up all over and you can make an appointment for a time and date, bring your computer there. They will troubleshoot it and fix it if it’s a software problem it’s FREE. What other computer company has stores and can make that statement? Get the 2.4 GHz with 4Gigs Ram and you got a speed machine like mine. The WinBloze people may not like a Mac computer but I’ll bet they all have iPods. Go Mac and Never Go Back. Mac, the User Friendly Computer.
If you read the questions here you will notice that most problems are about every computer except a Mac.

I am entering Fall ‘07 and beginning the great laptop search. I have done some in-store looking, but the only brands that I really know of are HP and Dell and I would like to know about other lesser known brands.

You cannot go wrong with an IBM Thinkpad. I own one and it is an impressive and well built machine. The Thinkpad’s aren’t flashy looking like most of the other junk that is out there, and they are still a very nice looking laptop. Look at IBM’s website for a particular model number that meets your needs.
