Posted on August 30, 2023August 30, 2023 by Fiona Mai

Have you ever thought about bringing a laptop to your holiday? Many people go on vacation to get away from things like work and electronics, so it might seem strange to dedicate a whole bag to your laptop and accessories like a charger. But what if we told you that there are many good reasons why people have started to bring along a larger device like a laptop for their holidays? In this post, we’ll explain exactly why it’s become popular!

Let’s face it, Travel can be boring

Whether you’re on a long plane journey or a train ride, let’s face it, travel can be kind of boring. Many people don’t enjoy the idea of sitting still and doing nothing for a long time, and that’s why it can help to bring a laptop along with you. Laptops are fantastic portable entertainment devices with a much larger screen than a smartphone. They also have a lot more features than a tablet, such as having a full-sized keyboard and usually a larger battery so that it can last a long time. It can play full video games, and there’s usually a lot more storage unless you have the most expensive iPad models.

So in short, having an inexpensive laptop is a great way to maximize fun during your travels. Whether it’s playing a game on the plane or watching a few shows on the train, there are lots of ways to entertain yourself during your travels. And even when you’ve arrived at your destination, a laptop can be a great way to stay entertained when your plans don’t go accordingly.

It’s an easy way to stay up to date with the things you like

Even though a lot of us go on holiday to get away from our daily lives, a laptop is still a brilliant way to stay up to date with the things that you actually enjoy! For example, watching the latest episodes of your favorite show, or even catching up with YouTube videos from content creators you follow. Sure, you can do this on a smartphone, but having a much larger screen and more freedom to use different kinds of software is really convenient. Plus, laptops are easy to plug into larger screens since they usually have a built-in connector.

Of course, you’ll need to figure out some quirks when traveling, such as how to get American Netflix in Australia or how to use a VPN to bypass certain restrictions. This can be a pain if you’re traveling to certain places, but it’s worth learning to overcome since it’s pretty easy.

Laptops are a great way to get stuff done while you travel

And lastly, there are times when you might need to get stuff done while you travel. For instance, you might need to write an emergency email, or even use a full program like Adobe Photoshop to edit some pictures you’ve taken. If you feel like you ever need to get some kind of work done while traveling, then a laptop is the way to go!
