Why a Macbook Makes a Great Travel Laptop
If you ever find yourself travelling for work or leisure purposes, then you might find that having convenient technologies such as a smartphone or laptop can enhance the experience. They’re fantastic for finding travel recommendations, managing your expenses, sharing your photos and videos and even writing up blog posts about your experiences.
Choosing a laptop to be your travel companion can be tricky, but that’s why we’ve put together a couple of reasons why you should consider investing in a Macbook as the travel laptop of your choice.

It makes it easy to find and book services
While you can always use your phone to find quirky hotels and look for travel recommendations, it’s always better on a laptop because of the larger screen and access to your bookmarks. You can sit down at a cafe, search for places, ask for recommendations or even just look around a large map to find what you’re looking for with far more ease than a smartphone.
They’re incredibly light and thin
While there are plenty of laptops that are light, thin and powerful, there’s nothing quite like something small like the Macbook Air. They’re surprisingly durable, they can fit in small bags, they don’t take up much space and they’re easy to handle with just one hand or lug around with you no matter where you go. Macbooks also come in relatively small sizes, meaning that you won’t be taking up an extreme amount of space in your bags just for a laptop.
They’re easy to buy
Macbooks are available everywhere which makes them very easy to purchase. However, one of the greatest things about buying a Macbook is that there are only a few select configurations with the most important factor being storage space. This means that you have a much easier time selecting a laptop to buy and don’t need to look at different hardware definitions such as processors. There are plenty of articles that will help you pick the right Macbook and they’re also available for testing inside Apple stores.
They’re surprisingly versatile
Macbooks are capable of a lot of things. They can run full versions of Windows if you need to use specific apps, they can be used to transfer files from your phone, they can share internet connections with your iOS phone and they can even be used for light video and photo editing if you’re preparing your content for a blog or social media. You can even transfer files between Android and Mac if you’ve opted to go for an Android phone. With so much versatility, it’s difficult to pick anything but a Macbook as your travel laptop of choice.
They have great battery life
You’ll also be surprised at how much battery life a Macbook has. They can last a considerably long time given how thin and light they are, and modern Macbooks are known to charge very quickly thanks to powerful chargers. Your Macbook will easily last more than a day even if you use it fairly often and you can always save battery by turning on the relevant power saving features.
