Laptop on an airplane? Carryon?

Just to clarify... I DO NOT want to use it on the plane... I just need it for the trip. That's all.

Well, in case you--or anyone else--wants to use a laptop on a plane and can't afford to fly up front, opt for an exit row seat. The seats immediately in front of exit rows do not recline. Plus there is additional room between your seat and the seat in front of you. Finally, if there are two or more rows of exit seats, then the last row of exit seats do recline.

The only negative to exit rows are that the seats typically have less padding than other seats, so if it's a long flight be prepared to arrive with a very sore rump!
