Answer 1 :
If I were you I would look for an online sale of lap tops in India to combat this or even an Ebay shop in India
Answer 2 :
The customs duties will be collected by the Indian authorities when the items enter the country. You will have to find someone who knows what duties will be assessed on each item, if any. All countries have their own duty rates. Check ahead to avoid any big shock.

Answer 1 :
They sure will. No big deal though.
Answer 2 :
I have traveled outside the US and have brought my laptop with me a few times. Customs have never given me a problem or asked any questions. Just follow all rules and regulations and he should not have any concerns!
Answer 3 :
The computer itself is not a problem - lots of people travel with them all the time. Customs now has the right to search the contents of the laptop. They don't search everyone's but they can. If you don't cooperate, they can seize it. Since someone gave it to him, he should make sure he knows everything that is on the disk, and remove any files that he doesn't absolutely need to bring along. Here is some sound and useful advice about carrying laptops across borders: http://www.schneier.com/crypto-gram-0806.html#2

Answer 1 :
No one cares how many laptops you carry when leaving the US.
Answer 2 :
I cannot give you any "authorized" assurance, because no one cares because there is no regulation. As long as both are removed from your bag for screening, then you should be okay. One word of caution, computers must be removed or placed in special computer bags. Don't try to leave the computer in the original box or you will have trouble going through security..
