Portable Laptops: The Best Models for Traveling Light

Laptops are one of the best portable options for those on the road, whether travelling for work or pleasure. The humble laptop has come a long way since those older, heftier models and there’s now no need to sacrifice power and performance for portability.
High specs at low prices Claims that laptops are soon to be completely replaced by tablets have been greatly exaggerated. A tablet does have a lot going for it in terms of portability but, most cannot match the performance capabilities of a modern laptop. The large storage capabilities of for example, an HP Pavilion 15n223sa, mean you can easily transfer a huge amount from your desktop to your laptop without the need for Cloud storage. More power and more memory equal faster performance, which is a hard task for most tablets to replicate!
Portable but robust Travelling with a personal computer does of course come with the risk of damage. Many of the latest models on the market however, are built to withstand the general wear and tear of daily travel. This issue has been addressed by the latest range of Samsung laptops, with models such as the Samsung Chromebook XE303 being both powerful as well as light.
Samsung’s product range includes models with a screen size of only 11.6 inches; these smaller screens are the perfect work aid when travelling. Keyboard size isn’t an issue either as smaller screen laptops generally come with a full-sized keyboard.
High performance in your bag One of the best features of the latest range of laptops is their long-life batteries. When you’re on the road you need to know that your computer can handle a variety of tasks, that won’t immediately suck the life out of your battery. Manufacturers have taken this issue into consideration with power efficiency options; meaning an extended battery life of up to seven hours for some models. An example of a small and exceptional model is the Packard Bell 10.1”, which offers a 320GB HDD and comes with a battery life of up to eight hours! There’s no doubt that these smaller personal computers are the ideal option for vacations and business travel. They are also great for people such as students or those who work in cities, who are always carrying their laptops around. It’s also important to match the right computer travel accessories with your new computer to ensure you can use your laptop wherever you are!
