My laptop is the "heavy" variety, and I took if on about 4 cruises so I could download photos and have a slideshow everyday from the cabin. Then I bought a whatever that is supposed to store them, bad idea. Last cruise, I decided not to take it, but there was Todd in the computer room getting on line when I could not, because he brought his! Depending on the cruise, the computer room can be busy (on port intensive cruises), but if you bring yours, you will not have a problem
