Check the PSU is multi voltage
Are you allowed to transport lithium battery do you need special fireproof packaging?
Keyboard will be is layout.
Warranty probably only valid in the USA.

Do you mean you are going to America, and want to buy one when you are there?

Liking my post does not really answer my question
Any reason why you don't buy one here and take it with you?

Consider a business laptop such as a Thinkpad (and maybe Dell, HP etc). You can normally order with a different keyboard and if you can't then you can usually swap it out yourself at a later date (check for specific models though). Also companies like Lenovo, Dell, HP, etc, will let you upgrade warranties on some models to international cover.
But if buying a regular laptop then keyboard and warranty will be an issue. Most will charge over USBC nowadays so easy to use an alternative charger if needed.
But it seems an expensive way to buy a laptop given the exchange rate.

I've purchased a few laptops whilst in the US but always from a big global brand like Apple or from a Microsoft store due to the global warranty. Keyboard layout is obviously one issue but the bigger problem is what do you do if you get an Asus from Best Buy and it stops working once you get home. Might also only be a model only available in the US.
