Whether you're making the jump into the Apple ecosystem or updating from an older machine, picking up a new Mac can be a great way to supercharge your productivity. How do you decide which type of Mac is right for you? With so many options to choose from, as well as different types of Macs, finding one that fits your setup and delivers everything you need can be tricky.
If you're going to pick up a new Mac, then going with a MacBook can have some distinct advantages over Apple's desktop options. Don't get us wrong, all of these machines are perfectly capable of doing what you need them to do, but there are some places where Apple's laptops shine brighter than the iMac and other desktop machines. As such, here are five great reasons to choose a MacBook over a desktop Mac the next time you upgrade.
1. MOBILE WORKSTATION
It almost goes without saying that one of the biggest advantages to choosing a MacBook is portability. The MacBook Air and MacBook Pro are extremely easy to pick up and transport and they are perfect for anyone who finds themselves traveling for work, or is just looking for a way to be able to move from a desk to a kitchen counter or even a couch. Apple does have desktops that are relatively light and easy to move-and apparently, using (fave.co/3wLVWdw) an iMac as a portable (fave.co/3LESUfa) computer (fave.co/3yXyYRT) is a thing (fave.co/3GkbB6F). You don't have to be like that.
