Bring a laptop foreign... Customs problems?

conzy

Im going to menorca on Friday, and im want to bring my lappy.........

I dont want to put it in my suitcase incase they "dispose of it for security purposes"

Is it ok to bring it as hand luggage?

Thanks

you shouldnt have any problems bringing it on as hand luggage, brought mine to lanzarote last year, alot of people, especially business people, would carry laptops on board with them.

definately do not put it in your suitcase anyway, have you ever seen the way baggage gets handled? thatd kill a hard drive/crack an lcd no problem

dont 4get to bring an adaptor ( three pin to two pin ) for your power though !

Yep you wont have any problems, I always bring it in my carry on baggage, have fun.

You'll just have to take it out of it's bag to put it through the X-Ray machine.

Along with your shoes !

you shouldnt have any problems but my advice would be to take it out of it's box and try and get a laptopbag for it so that it doesnt look like you bought it new.

just to be on the safe side obviously a brand new lappy, still sealed in box with price tag isn't gonna look good.

Maybe I will make a screensaver that counts down from 10 to 1........

That should be fun:D
