I've carried two several times (work/personal) and never had a problem with the TSA. If they look new you may want to have copies of the receipts in case customs wants to get you to pay a duty on them when you return.

You can not check in lithium batteries but you can carry on. That 4 UPS batteries would be a very hard sell as the larger batteries are limited to one installed plus two spares. |
Oh I am stupid, of course those are lead acid.
I did hear of LiOn UPS, now http://www.storagereview.com/apc_bac...ium_ion_review |
China customs.
Work, personal, colleague's replacement laptop plus two tablets. They did question me and the only issue they had was the colleague's replacement laptop however after explaining that he was a foreign national and the item will not stay inside the country, it was no issue. It was dang heavy though - which was the reason why they stopped me. |
I believe there is an international convention that allows you to bring one computer that has its own power source into a(ny) country without tax/import tafiffs, but any time you have two it could cause an issue.

I used to carry a Mac, a gaming computer (Windows PC), and a work computer (also a Windows PC) quite often. Sure people look at me like I'm crazy, but I've never had any problems.

As ScottC noted, the only issue you are likely to have is with customs. I encountered this when travelling with another FTer to MEX, where everything is x-rayed upon arrival. They were rather unhappy ab:eek:ut his two laptops, but after a brief discussion they allowed him into the country without any further issue.
