6 Best MacBooks for Business: Top Picks & Expert Advice

Customer Review: This MacBook Pro is a powerhouse. The 2024 model is incredibly fast, with apps opening instantly and multitasking handled with ease. The display is stunning — bright, sharp, and with amazing color accuracy that makes everything from work documents to movies look incredible. Battery life is excellent, easily lasting all day with normal use, and the build quality is exactly what you’d expect from Apple: sleek, solid, and premium. The keyboard is comfortable to type on for long stretches, and the trackpad remains the best in the business. I’ve used both Windows laptops and Macs, and this machine is easily the smoothest computing experience I’ve had. Perfect for business, creative work, or just everyday tasks. If you want a laptop that delivers performance, reliability, and design in one package, this is it.

Customer Review: Very fast laptop, very long battery life. For the graphically interesting games natively compatible with it, very good graphics performance. The display is amazing and is capable of twice as many pixels as it shows you. It was a good value in a Black Friday sale (~$1400), but this (M4 Pro 12/16) chip is on par with or under performance of the prior generation M3 Max 14”, so if it can get one of those for a good deal refurbished or open box, there is no shame in it. As with all M1/2/3/4s, there are dedicated neural cores for Apple Intelligence to run, which allows for a personalized Siri who listens to you and watches you all the time, without sharing this information. You can disable Apple Intelligence and Siri, but after I got past the creepiness, I configured Siri as an Irish Female, and it makes everything lovely. There is a lot of integration with other Apple devices, like you can operate your iphone from a distance on your MacBook. You can also receive texts and Messages from your iPhone, and easily use it for tethering, as a substitute for your webcam (the webcam is pretty solid nonetheless). This model supports linking hearing aids and also supports airpods much in the same way the iPhone does. You can easily use your living room TV as a second monitor on the fly, and if you can plug in via HDMI, you can get the whole 4K@120hz. MacOSX is a great operating system, built on Unix, and with tons of room for customization for beginners to super users. Time Machine backups with your own plug-in hard drives and iCloud are incredibly convenient. Safari gets better and better, but the Mac versions of Chromium and Firefox also dazzle.For most programs that aren’t games, macOSX is widely supported, but if you just *need* it, parallels desktop and vmware can run windows for you.New users ought to pay close attention to Tips and go into settings and learn all the trackpad gestures. You won’t want to come back to a different trackpad, and until you want to game, you will not care to use a mouse.Anyway, I got this for my wife as a gift, partly because she needed a new computer and partly because I wanted to convert her. She seems pretty converted.

Customer Review: It’s a great size and a great-looking backpack. It can be expanded to make it bigger, which is nice if you have a lot of stuff on that rare occasion. The pockets are great, with a lot of room. The price point is reasonable. I have used it for work for a week now, and I am still enjoying the bag. It will be a great little travel bag. The zippers are good quality, and the battery charge ports look acceptable.My design issue is the security pocket at the back of the backpack is 1 1/2 in or 4 cm too low. It is supposed to be under the luggage strap, so no one will know the pocket is there. I will not remove a star because I think it’s a solid black business backpack. I am considering removing a star because there is no external water bottle or umbrella pocket. There should have been a hidden one, but because of the design, maybe it was hard to incorporate. Overall, a 5 / 5 backpack. I would recommend or buy another as a gift.

Customer Review: Love this backpack it’s perfect for my needs holds my tablet and laptop and all my other gadgets well it has two sizes one for less junk and unzipped holds even more junk 😅 for me that is a huge plus. It’s been very durable with the abuse I have put it through and the zipper is still holding up very easy to use and I even wired the charging cable up instead of down and it’s working great 😊

Customer Review: This laptop has been a pleasant surprise! I needed something for my freelance work that wouldn’t cost a fortune, and this ASUS Vivobook delivered. The speed is great for my daily tasks like emails, browsing, and using office suites. The screen is clear and bright, and I appreciate the numeric keypad for when I have to input a lot of data. It’s lightweight enough to carry around, which is a big plus for me. Definitely a good choice for basic business needs.

Customer Review: For the price, this laptop is fantastic. I upgraded from an older machine, and the difference in speed is night and day. Apps load quickly, and I can have multiple browser tabs open without any lag. The display is good for working on documents and watching videos. The build feels solid enough for everyday use. It’s not a gaming machine, but for business and general use, it’s a solid performer.

Customer Review: Great laptop. battery cycle was at 131, and battery health at 93%. runs like a dream and the mini led display is fantastic. my only complaint is that it doesnt come with a magsafe charger. just a plain type c cable and a brick that i dont even know the wattage on. Great value for what i paid, considering this was $2,500, 4 years ago, and still runs better than most macbook airs.

Customer Review: Arrived on time, as promised – Condition is basically “As New” except for the after market charger – Specs as advertisedI was a little nervous because I saw another seller that was constantly shipping wrong specs or product “not as described”.Super happy with this purchase. Highly recommend this seller.

Customer Review: I LOVE this backpack. The extremely durable Smatree Business Laptop Backpack claims it isn’t compatible with the new MacBook Pro M3, but not only is it a PERFECT fit, it also carries my iPad Pro with Magic Keyboard, AirPod Max’s, a large battery pack, a Netgear M6 Pro, and a few cables. I’ve even put folders with documents in them next to the Mac. I never imagined that this super-thin bag could carry everything I need for a full day of academic teaching and research. Everything! I could even fit my iPhone inside, but it rings often, requiring my carrying it in a pocket. I paid over $300 for my previous leather computer backpack and this one fits more, and is much more comfortable and made extremely well (better than the $300 one). So if you want a great, thin, and affordable backpack for your computer and/or iPad plus accessories, this one is ideal. Buy one now. You won’t be disappointed.

Customer Review: I’ve been using this backpack daily for nearly a year now and it has held up wonderfully.I love the design of this backpack. It is rigid, but light. It holds my MacBook, iPad, power banks & cables perfectly. My favorite feature is the magnetic flap that provides quick access my MacBook.If you’re looking for a durable slim backpack, this is the one!!

Customer Review: This backpack is excellent for carrying my computer and other electronic devices. It fits my laptop, iPad, and phone comfortably, with room to spare. The size is just right for me—not bulky, but still spacious enough to be practical.The padded straps make it really comfortable to wear, even when walking through airports or commuting. For the price, it’s a great value. Easy to use, well-designed, and ideal for travel or everyday use.

Customer Review: I’ve been using this backpack weekly for about a year now, and I’m so happy with it. It has traveled with me on airplanes and road trips three times now, and I use it to and from the office every week. It’s an excellent, quality backpack, and the photos are an accurate representation. It’s quite an attractive style in person, thin and sleek. I’ve received many compliments on it. The padding along the back and the straps are very comfortable. Someone spilled coffee all over the front of it one day and the water-repelling material definitely works – it cleaned up perfectly just by wiping it off with a Clorox wipe.
