My current laptop is 6 years old, doesn't close properly, and the manufacturer has left the laptop space. I don't know if I'll be back in 
for several years and don't know if I'll ever be able to order a proper linux laptop from them to 
.
The only thing holding me back is the internationalization. I know they're a big company capable of internationalization, but is there a chance it's not really polished/complete on laptops they're currently only selling in ? Will I be a few menus deep suddenly totally illiterate to what's on my screen?
I'm a touch typer and not worried about the labels on the physical keys and buttons, just the software.
Thanks
Absolutely do it, but don't log into anything before you have to go through US customs/immigration.
That's the other thing I was trying to figure out in my other tabs. What should I do with my current laptop? It's not garbage yet and I'd prefer to keep it, but if giving it away will make it easier to get the new one home duty-free, any ideas where it should go?

This typically works fine. You could throw the old one in a closet to be a piHole or something
