One  should  be  careful  when  travelling  in  Europe  with a  computer
(Portable  or not).  It should have its own passport  (called  "Carnet")
which has to be shown at customs on entering and leaving every  country.
The Carnet is only valid for the countries listed on the cover.  A sheet
is torn out of the carnet each time, so plan your trip before asking for
the Carnet.
