Laptop on the move: The best options for mobile working in 2025
The digitalization of the working world is progressing rapidly and mobile working is no longer an exception – it has become the new normal for many companies. Whether on a business trip, on the train, at the customer’s premises or in a coworking space abroad: The demand for powerful, lightweight and reliable laptops for on the go is growing continuously.
In the B2B sector in particular, mobile work devices have to do more than just fulfill solid office tasks. Security, mobility, battery life, workmanship and connectivity are decisive criteria. In this article, we will show you why a laptop for on the go is more than just a portable PC – and why renting such a device is particularly worthwhile in many cases. Companies can flexibly rent a notebook and thus use modern hardware exactly when it is really needed.
What makes a good laptop for traveling?
A mobile laptop must meet special requirements that are clearly different from conventional office notebooks:
- Low weight and compact design: A weight of less than 1.5 kg is ideal for frequent travelers. Thin cases and 13 to 14 inch displays are preferred.
- Long battery life: At least 10 hours of continuous use without recharging makes the mobile workflow much easier.
- Robust construction: Housing made of aluminum or magnesium alloy, shock-resistant design – important for frequent transport.
- Fast connectivity: Modern Wi-Fi standards (Wi-Fi 6 or Wi-Fi 6E), Thunderbolt 4, USB-C and 5G support increase flexibility.
- Good keyboard and touchpad: Indispensable for efficient work on the move.
- Security features: Fingerprint scanner, IR camera for facial recognition, TPM module and enterprise administrations such as Windows Autopilot.
For companies, the purchase price is not the only decisive factor. Renting mobile devices can be more economical and flexible, especially for temporary projects or temporary teams.
Top models 2025: Which laptop is suitable for mobile working?
In 2025, the market offers a wide range of professional laptops that are specially tailored to mobile applications. Depending on the area of application, the models differ in terms of performance, extras and price-performance ratio. The following table provides an overview of the most recommended models:
| Model | Display Size | Weight | Battery Life (up to) | Special Features |

Renting a mobile laptop is particularly financially and organizationally worthwhile for short-term projects. High-performance models such as the MacBook Pro 13 inch are often used for intensive graphics or development activities, with companies relying on specialized providers such as Apple MacBooks.
Why rent laptops instead of buying them?
In the B2B sector, the frequency of use of technical devices is constantly changing. The rental of technology offers decisive advantages here:
- Cost control: No high initial investment, calculable monthly installments.
- Flexibility: Scalable depending on the project period or personnel requirements.
- Always up-to-date technology: access to the latest models without depreciation problems.
- All-round service: Technical support, optionally with software installation, insurance and replacement devices.
- Environmentally friendly: Sharing and reuse reduces waste and resource consumption.
For example, if you have to equip a sales team that travels a lot and is only on the road seasonally, rental saves you money and avoids unnecessary storage of unused hardware.
Conclusion: Laptop for on the go – clever mobility design
In the flexible working world of 2025, a laptop on the move is a key tool for employee productivity – whether working from home, traveling or in field service.
