Transporting a Laptop

Never had a laptop but isn't being portable the whole point of them, I don't think it makes much difference if they carried on their end or any other direction as long as they aren't being knocked around to much.

This.

I move mine around often and it's not had any problems aside from the lid switch going bad, which is common with my laptop's series anyway.

It would also be a good idea to make sure it's completely off when in the bag.

i would just be sure that its on standby and other than that it should be okay...
i transport mine everyday but as long as you take care of the laptop you should have no problems
also test that the laptop can comeback from standby and that it goes to standby normally and does not start itself....


@grim
try lugging those alienware computers...
those are more than 10lbs which means there are not very portable in most people's eyes...

aren't alienware laptops more about power than portability though?

ahh but its still a laptop so by that definition would mean (according to the The American Heritage) is a:

laptop

A portable, compact personal computer that can run on a battery.
