I'm going backpacking in France and Italy this summer - should I bring my laptop?
Or will the laptop just become something to worry about that weighs down my pack?

It will only get stolen. Why do you need it? Check your email when you pass a town with an Internet cafe.

Basically, I agree with all the other answerers -- except that I took mine with me on a camping trip to France last year, because I was taking lots of photos and I wanted to download and review them as I went. But you could always upload them to a Photobucket account from an internet cafe, assuming you bring your camera's USB cable... I also did watch films tucked up in my tent at night, which was neat, but that's not really a good enough excuse on its own, is it? =D All in all, I vote for leaving the laptop at home: it'll weigh on your mind as much as on your back.

Leave it at home. Would you bring a portable tv to the Grand Canyon
