- 1). Invest in a case to carry your computer. Several companies offer products just for this purpose. Cases range from the nearly indestructible iMac 27 Carrying Case by Casecruzer -- to the simpler satchel-style, soft case by iLugger. It's important to note that the hard-shell case is too big to be a carry-on, so it must go with your checked baggage. Even when carried in a soft bag, the iMac may be too big to be allowed as a carry-on. Check with the airline before your flight, to see if it meets specifications.
If checking your iMac makes you nervous, consider mailing the computer to your destination instead. Shipping it allows both assurance and insurance that your PC will make it where you're going in one piece. - 2). Get a power outlet adapter. If traveling internationally with your iMac, an incompatible power outlet cripples any opportunity to work. Forcing American plugs into a foreign socket often causes damage or destroys electronics. Companies like All-In-One, offer complete adapters that allow you to plug in, no matter where you are. On the other hand, if you know you'll be working exclusively in one country, companies like BoxWave Corporation offer individual adapters.
- 3). Protect your iMac. Use hotel safes, when available. Know your surroundings, and be wary of ground floor windows and glass doors. Beware of leaving your iMac out in the open.
