[edit] Travel topic

[edit] Understand

Travelers take a laptop notebook with them for variety of reasons:

• pure business travellers: their primary reason for travelling is business purposes
• business even during vacation / holidays: able to reply to urgent email and resolve urgent technical things even while being on a vacation
• creativity: when away from day-to-day routine, they are able to create something impossible at home
• photos: save from a camera; photoshop them; show previous trips to fellow traveller
• watch movies
• entertain kids (with movies or games)
• read Wikitravel and contribute to it :-)

[edit] Practical tips

• if you take movies with you, consider taking a VGA cable: as more and more hotels equip their rooms with flat-screen TVs, it is much easier to connect them to your laptop than to find a DVD player in a hotel. Especially true if you rip DVDs to your HDD to reduce luggage size.
