As a backpacker or a regular business traveler, you may need to travel with your laptop, camera, cell phone and other gadgets. Care must be taken to protect your laptop from any external (physical) and internal (data security) damage. Always take the laptop with you in flight as a carry-on baggage and buy a good carrier for the laptop. Place the lapotop under the seat in front of you, instead of keeping it one the plane's overhead storage area.
