We know it’s possible to be very productive with nothing except a smartphone, but for most business travellers, hitting the road is a multi-device experience, with phones, tablets and notebook PCs all playing a part. As our Business Travel Week coverage continues, we look at which scenarios make sense for which device.
Dear Lifehacker, I’ve just purchased a new laptop, as my previous laptop was stolen while I was travelling in Europe. The loss of my laptop happened on the last day, when I was travelling to the airport, so it pretty much carried the whole of my digital life for that fortnight.
There’s pretty much no question that you’ll want a portable computer for use at university, but should you go the cheap and cheerful netbook route or splurge on a powerhouse that will see you through your degree? Lifehacker student readers weigh up the alternatives.
Chill mats can make a laptop PC more comfortable to use, especially in the height of summer. But just how much does their effectiveness get compromised if you take the fan out of the equation?
Dear Lifehacker, I have an old MacBook that I primarily use for work, that I have recently killed by spilling a cup of coffee onto it. I have been searching the net for tips regarding salary sacrificing a laptop and the tax benefits. I haven’t really found any helpful information and were wondering if you would be able to assist? I know you people are not accountants, and that the process may differ from workplace to workplace, but I’m wondering if you can least point me in the right direction. Thanks, Anthony
