“when you are moving within a larger distance, for instance, from your office building to a client’s office building or traveling locally”

Preparing the computer

What to bring with you

Bring the following items with you:

AC adapter

Spare, fully-charged battery pack(s)

Special considerations

Always take the computer as carry-on luggage.

If possible, have the computer inspected by hand. Airport security X-ray machines are safe, but do not put the computer through a metal detector.
