I will be traveling soon and I just moved into a new apartment. Several people in the building have told me that the portero is a known thief. I keep several thousand dollars in cash in the apartment and there is no safe. And no, I can't install one because it is a "historic building." So I...

So I brought two laptops down here from the US. Surely both of them would not go out at the same time. Well, they did. What is the laptop selection like in Uruguay? And the prices (i.e. taxes)? Thanks.
