I strongly recommend buying up north. Spanish keyboards are confusing to most of us, but especially to those of us who touch-type. My husband just bought a NetBook for under $300.00. I got mine last year for a little less. Once back in CR, I bought a large, flat-screen monitor to use with the little computer. (No, I’m not going to share it with my husband! He uses his only for solitaire games.) I already had a standard keyboard tacked on to the baby computer–in fact I have two–one here on the boat in BC, the other lives in CR. These little guys do everything the big ones do, and for less initial outlay. They’re also great for travel. Just leave the external keyboard and screen at home. Mine is an MSI Wind, my husband’s is a house-brand from a drug/computer store.

[quote=”gzeniou”]Hello,
I needed to buy a couple of Laptops for Costa Rica, My question is are the prices and laptops similar to what we can purchase in the states? or is just better to purchase them in the states and bring them along. On a similar subject what about printers and scanners.
Thanks[/quote]
