Just one thing about the laptop idea - is the UK keyboard the same as the US keyboard? I ask because one thing which is pretty annoying to me when using foreign laptops is the keyboard.

 

 I think they're 99% similar, I think they lack the £, @ and " are swapped around, and # is in place of £, I believe.

Shouldn't cause too much trouble, Mac users have to put up with it anyways.

What's more, I can just change the keyboard layout in Windows settings, and just get some new stickers for the keyboard.

Then the laptop sounds like a great idea, if you can anticipate using it.

The only thing which you should take care with when buying electronics in USA is the power brick supported voltages/frequencies. However, I think most (or all?) laptop power bricks support 100-240 V and 50-60 Hz, so that shouldn't be a problem. You can always ask the store clerk to show you the label on the power brick, which should state it quite clearly.
