I'm planning on taking my laptop to Pakistan whilst I'm there on holiday. Can anyone give me advice of the pitfalls, it's common knowledge that the folks in the Islamabad customs are con artists. But as far as official law goes is there anything preventing me from taking my laptop with me?

Any advice is highly appreciated, best answer obviously gets 10 points.

Thanks in advance.

The game will does not offer a windowed mode.
