    Qantas actually implemented a rule for Dell laptops. A Dell can still be used provided that it's running on solely on battery, or running on AC power without the laptop battery. IOW, as long as there is no battery charging going on, they'll allow it.

    do our local airlines restrict the use of laptops? i mean, can we still handcarry them, or are they supposed to be checked in?

    Just took a flight on NWA to Japan and back. I used it with no problems.

    Two roads diverged in a wood, and I took the one less traveled by,And that has made all the difference.

    i heard they dont allow any electronic devices insdie the airplane...that includes cameras, laptops and celphones.

    this is only goin and leaving the US . it doesnt apply to other countries.

    i remember they even got the lip balm of my friend from NY to LA.

    So are you sure you can hand carry your laptop?
