Travel Laptop Recommendations

If you’re planning on working as you travel, chances are you’re going to bring your laptop with you.

After extensive research, I’ve narrowed the field down to these two laptops for travelling.  Both of these laptops fit the following criteria:

  • thin and light
  • enough performance to handle heavy-duty apps (no netbooks)
  • around $1100

Both are field tested (I use the Mac, my wife uses the Lenovo), and work quite nicely.  You can see how they compare below.
