Nowadays, a business laptop is no longer just about being able to work quickly while surfing the web and answering e-mails - it must also be possible to use powerful programs for presentations or image processing with them.
In addition, frequent travelers also value light and compact workmanship as well as a long battery life - these features therefore play an equally important role in purchasing advice.
The following tips will help you find the ideal model for your personal needs.

Convertible notebook: the all-rounder for all business requirements
Many people ask themselves the question when buying: Do I need a laptop or is a tablet enough to be able to handle business tasks flexibly?
Especially in creative areas it can be practical to be able to capture your ideas in a sketch and pass them on to customers, which is easily possible with an iPad or other tablets with a compatible pen.
When writing e-mails, texting and surfing, however, many also want a keyboard with a good haptic feel so that they can work faster.
Tablets with a keyboard or, alternatively, a convertible notebook offer an affordable solution to this problem.
The keyboard can be easily removed or folded down so that both the advantages of a laptop and a tablet can be used.
For example, the Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Yoga * has proven to be a practical companion.
The powerful device with Intel Core i56300U processor and 14-inch multi-touch display provides up to 10 hours of battery life.
The adjustable keyboard allows you to work comfortably and productively almost anywhere.
The convertible notebook also has Bluetooth, USB connections and a headphone jack.

The CHUWI Android Tablet * is also convincing: The keyboard is integrated into the protective cover of this convertible notebook.
With a battery life of up to eight hours, the 10.1-inch device lasts a normal working day without charging.
In combination with a pen, for example, PDF documents can be annotated on the tablet.
The preparation of presentations, writing and even simple programming (e.g. minor bug fixes) is possible with the powerful laptop / tablet combination.

Long battery life laptop: it pays off
display
If the battery life of a laptop is running out while out and about, it can mean a lot of stress - especially if there is an important deadline and you first have to look for the next available power outlet.
If you plan to use your laptop frequently on business trips, we recommend using a device with the longest possible battery life.
The convertible notebook Microsoft Surface 3 * can assert itself as the front runner here: The battery of the laptop, which can also function as a tablet by removing the keyboard, lasts up to 17 hours even with the use of high-performance software.

Small laptop: the ideal companion for on the go
When traveling, it can also be a nuisance to carry a laptop with a large screen size with you.
In any case, there is often only little space to work on the train or plane - a small laptop, which can easily be stowed with accessories in hand luggage, is therefore a great advantage for business travelers.
The YOTOPT * tablet is particularly small.
With a screen size of 10.1 inches, the compact device is suitable for all those who want to check e-mails on the go, surf the net and stream films and series in their free time and do not want to do without a real keyboard.
In addition, the small notebook is only 456 grams light.
In addition, it is comparatively cheap, so it is also suitable as a laptop for students.

With an 11.6-inch screen, the Lenovo IdeaPad 3 * is a bit easier on the eyes when working for longer periods - at the same time, the small laptop offers enough multitasking power to master several tasks at the same time.

Light laptops: For more flexibility
Laptops should not only be small and handy for business trips - weight also plays an important role when buying them.
Because especially in combination with accessories, laptop bags and other luggage, it can quickly become annoying on business trips if the device is too heavy.
Above all, the Macbook Air * can score here.
At 1.29 kilograms, the powerful laptop is clearly ahead of many other manufacturers.
Most of the weight is saved by the compact 13-inch display.
With this screen size, all business requirements can be mastered without any problems - even image processing and video editing are possible - albeit less convenient than with the larger desktop computer.
In addition, the high-end laptop now saves on the CD drive, which, thanks to cloud work, should hardly bother many.
When buying a Macbook Air, however, you should ensure that an SD card slot and USB port are available.
Otherwise an additional adapter will be necessary.

In addition, the Microsoft Surface Pro 7 * should be emphasized as a particularly light laptop: At just 776 grams, the convertible notebook leaves little to be desired, because the long battery life of up to 10.5 hours, a small screen size of 12.3 inches, the powerful 8th generation Intel Core processor and the included office suite ensure maximum productivity.
