I will be relocating to Mexico (Queretaro) soon and it is time to replace my computer. I had planned to purchase a notebook here in the US and bring it with me. Now I am having second thoughts. First, I fear that it would be difficult to get parts and service for a US model in Mexico. Toshiba, for example, claims that its US and Mexican models are different and that the Mexican retailers are not authorized to service the US models. Add to that the hassle of bringing the computer through customs on an FMT visa (alas, I'm not eligible for a FM3) and I think it would be better to simply purchase a computer in Mexico. I'm aware that comparable computers cost 20-30% more in Mexico, but perhaps it's worth the extra pesos to have better support and fewer hassles. Any thoughts?

Americans and Canadians.

Los perros go everywhere with us, including to Mexico. Milo, a charcoal-hued Standard Poodle, is a veteran of seven such trips. He has reached the summit of the Nevada de Toluca volcano, walked into Guatemala, swum in the Pacific, Gulf and Sea of Cortez, explored the Copper Canyon, and visited almost every state in Mexico. Pancho Villa, (a black mini-Milo) just completed his third trip. They have made many friends and even learned some Spanish. Having a sociable pet with you can be a real icebreaker. read more
