Wasnt available at the airport anymore, at least in October- so pretty much need to get it in Rejkjavik. Otherwise agree, its a good tip, my son does this every time he goes. My office phone has global roaming, my wife just used Whatsapp and wifi which is a good alternative if you have wifi

Lots to learn! Thanks!

I have taken my iPad and it worked well for me.

Are you driving all around the country? In the north there is a beautiful little canyon called Asbyrgi; when we went there our guide sang an old nordic song - wow. Akureyri is also a nice town.

Not sure what that has to do with taking a laptop or not,
but I suppose it's all connected at some point.

I could not find such a device either.

I'm surprised. That seems like an ideal product.

Thanks for sharing. I’m a bit overwhelmed with the research I hope to do! Appreciate the tip.

Buy one of these inexpensive pc's, a few external drives.
5tb WD Black series drives for under $100.00.
SSD's NOT NEEDED!!! Save your money.
Now you have a pc for, whatever and a way to back up your photo's.

That would be the perfect computer for 95% of the population. Send email, watch YouTube, watch movies, and do searches. And it has a camera! I'll resist the temptation, though.

EDIT: Similar on Amazon for $210. They call it a Notebook Computer. They say it's an HP Dell Precision. Confusing.

I took an iPad and iPhone. I rented a car without gps and used my iPad for gps around the country. I have mobile which has an agreement with the Iceland com company. No data limit. $.25 minute for phone calls but I emailed. I drove off the road and used my phone and iPad gps to get a tow truck to pull me back on the road. Easy peasy.
