Bringing my Macbook into Canada for week while I'm there with the family will there be a problem during the visit? I've had a couple friends tell me to leave it and bring my tablet. Do to the laptop being serched at the port of entry and taking a good amount of time while they do there thing. Also how wifi friendly is the niagara falls area? thanks!

Problem...no

Will they look at it, maybe but for certain reasons. Like if they suspect you will work here or for some criminal investigation.
They will do the same with your tablet if needed.

For the wifi in Niagara, no idea.

I took my laptop in my carry on luggage to Florida and had no issue going through Customs on the way down or back.
They might ask you to turn it on....
Are you flying or driving?

I'll be driving through New York port of entry. The big problem i had while i flew to Mexico is being detained for 6 hours cause of my laptop with a firearm screen saver and having my knife in my luggage. just don't want to be sitting again for hours waiting till they let me go, Have no problem letting you guys do your thing just don't want to be sitting in a white room again lol
