If I were to buy a laptop when visiting a foreign country, how do I get
a good exchange rate for my money? I could just swipe a credit card,
but my bank's rates are significantly higher than the market's. If I
take traveller's cheques, the store may not accept them. Cash will be
very suspicious at immigration.
What is a good way to transfer money in such a case?
You can carry upto 3.5 to 4k USD openly and that should get you a very
decent laptop indeed - high end macs, sony vaios etc.
TCs can be negotiated just about anywhere - dont worry about it. If
theres a hassle you can always go to a nearby bank and redeem them there
