Hi All,

I give a laptop to my colleague and he should travel to another city and give it (laptop) to my friend there.

How to say?

He brings the laptop to my friend
He takes the laptop to my friend
He carry the laptop to my friend
He handcarry the laptop to my friend

I'd say, 'He's taking the laptop to my friend'. 'Bring' means 'to take to this place': bring the money to me here; he brought his girlfriend with him; I hope it brings you luck.
