Yes, it is essential to take it with you, and here are 9 things to remember when traveling with it.
1. Adapter - before planning your trip double check to see if you need an AC adapter in the country you will visit.
2. Packaging - do not pack your laptop in checked baggage, as the bag can be beating around the car damaged. Do not store in the space over-head is for the same reason.
3. If properly implemented - be sure that your case has adequate insulation if your laptop falls, even though it improved a lot in the manufacturing process, err on the side of caution.
4. Moving onto X-rays - the computer is secure, the car is not bad. It must however be careful of metal detectors - that could damage.
5. Battery - before you leave, make sure the battery is fully charged, as you may be asked to prove that he is working at customs, or better still boot up when you reach the airport to maintain the line.
6. Closely monitor - you should never leave your computer alone, better safe than sorry, as you never know who you are having company.
7. Store the documents of others - if you have to store documenting, files or disks at the same carrying case to make sure they are in a safe folder or pocket, or, when you open the case, these additional elements can fly all over the place.
8. Protection of information - if you use it to make sure that sensitive information is not on screen, be aware of people around you and how much attention they are paying for what they're doing.
9. Documentation - on foot, with proof of ownership, just a precaution. When I return home, you do not want to pay again for something that you have. And 'your responsibility to prove that this is a pre-owned car and not something that you purchased your trip.

Hi,
It is an in depth post on traveling.
Overseas travel can be a rich and rewarding experience however; the well-informed traveler should keep a few simple tips in mind before leaving for that trip of a lifetime. A first consideration is taking a few minutes in front of the computer and research the country, to which you are traveling. Take some time to get information on the country's culture.
