FAQ MacBooks for on the go

Are you thinking about buying MacBooks for on the go but still unsure? Let’s take a look together at the key benefits and things to consider before you buy.

Which MacBook models are included in this collection?

This collection features particularly lightweight and compact MacBooks, including MacBook Air models and select 13- or 14-inch MacBook Pro variants. It includes devices with Apple Silicon chips such as the M1, M2, or M3, as well as select older Intel models that are known for their excellent portability and long battery life.

What is the difference between the 13-inch and 14-inch models in this collection?

13-inch models are particularly lightweight and ideal for maximum mobility in everyday life or while traveling. 14-inch MacBooks offer slightly more screen space and additional performance, but remain compact enough for on-the-go use.

Are M1 and M2 chips still fast enough for mobile working today?

Yes, MacBooks with M1 or M2 chips still offer very strong performance for mobile work. They are perfectly suited for office programs, web applications, video conferencing, media editing, and multitasking on the go.

Is there a big difference between a MacBook Air and a MacBook Pro for use on the go?

MacBook Air models are lighter, thinner, and exceptionally energy-efficient, making them ideal for travel and everyday portability. MacBook Pro models offer greater sustained performance and are better suited for more demanding tasks like photo or video editing while on the go.

How much RAM and storage space do I need for a mobile MacBook?

For mobile use, 8 GB of RAM and 256 GB of storage are usually sufficient for office applications, internet browsing, and streaming. Those who use many programs simultaneously, store large files, or work creatively will benefit from 16 GB of RAM and at least 512 GB of storage.

Are these MacBooks well-suited for travel and daily transport?

Yes, all MacBooks in this collection are specifically designed for mobility. They are lightweight, compact, sturdily built, and fit easily into backpacks or bags, making them ideal for commuters, frequent travelers, and flexible work locations.

How important is battery life for MacBooks when used on the go?

Long battery life is crucial for mobile working, and this is precisely where these MacBooks excel. Models with Apple Silicon chips, in particular, offer many hours of use without recharging and are ideal for long days away from power outlets.

Are MacBooks suitable for students on the go?

Yes, these MacBooks are ideal for students. They offer sufficient performance for lectures, research, assignments, and online meetings, and are easy to transport between university, library, and home.

Are refurbished MacBooks a good choice for travel?

Refurbished MacBooks are an excellent choice for travel, as they are technically tested, reliable, and significantly cheaper than new devices. At the same time, they are more sustainable and offer the same mobility and performance for everyday use.
