Laptop?

I currently have a Dell XPS that is great! But I’ve been kind of wondering if a MacBook would be better. I like that it would connect easily to my phone and IPad, but how does it function for business? Any other awesome business laptops I should look into?

Depends on the type of business. If it’s photography you want to graphics gaming chip from Dell. If it’s compatibility with your other Apple devices you need, then a MacBook would be the way to go.

I love my Mac book Pro. I do a lot of content creating. event planning and accounting on mine. My husband works on a Mac Book Pro as well and he works in IT for a large agency and he really likes it. I think it is dependent on what your business is and what you will be using it for.

I love my Mac. I love that it shares everything that I want with my phone so I can go between the two for my businesses.

Get a Macbook Air and never look back. It's amazingly fast, beautiful, weighs next to nothing, and not expensive. The latest Macbook Air is faster than my gigantic top of the line iMac from a couple of years ago. Plus Mac OS is prettier and less likely to get hacked vs. Windows.

I love that everything syncs with my phone and other devices. If you have an iPhone you can use my find my iphone on all of your devices including your laptop. Say goodbye to no more double clicking! That was the biggest thing I had to get used to when making the switch: less clicks/steps in the process.

Fellow business laptop buyer here, I just got the Microsoft Surface Laptop 4 and I'm in love! I was legitimately more productive last week than the whole month of April because I enjoy my laptop now ;) The keyboard is amazing, it's a touch screen, it's skinny, it's light, it powers up quick and holds a great charge. What really sold me is that it's Rose Gold (Microsoft calls it Sandstone)! Back story, I had a Mac in college but no other Apple products so made the switch to a Chromebook (blah, don't recommend those for business) and for me, my laptop is for emails, document creating and having good cloud storage so I can work from anywhere so the Microsoft Surface 4 checked all my boxes.

I cannot imagine my life without my MacBook. It is literally the best thing that ever happened to me. Its so easy, fast and just convenient to use. For my job I use a Dell computer and honestly just for my peace of mind I find myself using my personal MacBook during the workday just because it is so much easier for me to maneuver. They also last forever. I can honestly say my Mac works just as great as the day I bought it 2 years ago. Last thing, I feel like the battery life is better on my Mac vs my Dell work computer.

I used to have a Mac book for personal use and another at work, and now I have a Lenovo. I loved my Mac book so much more. So user friendly! Especially if you already have apple products, it’s so convenient.

I recently switched from Yoga to MacBook Air. In the beginning was strange but the MacBook convenience has won. I can easily connect my phone to the computer, the browsers and apps.

I love my MacBook Pro 2021 (M1 chip) - use it for heavy-duty Excel all day every day, plus light graphics, Word, Powerpoint and have never had any issues. I have an iPhone and iPad and both are fully integrated so I can work across devices with ease.

I love being in the Apple ecosystem. AirDrop is amazing, as is FaceTime. Apple is pricey but honestly it saves me a lot of productivity minutes
