Working only on the laptop: advantages & what you should pay attention to

Arbeiten nur am Laptop: Vorteile & worauf du achten solltest

Being a digital nomad is a dream for many people – always working from wherever you want. More and more people, especially young people, are opting for this form of independent work. An important aspect of this form of work is that you don't need much - at best just a notebook. In this desqup blog article , we look at the benefits of just working from a laptop and what to look out for.

Digital nomad – what is that actually?

Before we take a closer look at the benefits of laptop work , let's first clarify what a digital nomad actually is. In recent years in particular, the trend towards this way of working has continued to increase, which can also be seen from the fact that there are now almost 19 . 000 coworking spaces – and the trend is rising . Digital nomads are particularly common in these areas - but what exactly is that?

A digital nomad makes a living doing digital work. He usually only needs a laptop to work and is not tied to a fixed location. As a rule, he is also free to choose his working hours. Typical jobs for digital nomads would be: copywriters, graphic designers, consultants, self-employed in e-commerce. Digital nomads are often self-employed, but some companies also allow their employees this freedom.

Some of the benefits of being a digital nomad include:

  • Independence: As a digital nomad, you usually have no guidelines and can develop freely with your work
  • Low costs: When a digital nomad is employed, he does not need an office workplace. For the company, he is a particularly cheap worker
  • Work-life balance: A digital nomad still finds enough time to focus on his own interests due to the flexible working hours and free choice of location

But now to the advantages of laptop work !

Only work on the laptop - you have to pay attention to this!

In this section , we'll look at what to look out for if you decide to only work from your laptop . In addition to the performance of the device, other things are also relevant, such as data security . If you also want to work like a digital nomad , then you should also be prepared not to have WiFi everywhere - we'll look at the key points in this part of the text.

  • Performance: First you have to look at the computing power the laptop needs for your work. If you do tasks that are less demanding on technology, such as writing, then a cheaper device with less performance may be sufficient for you. On the other hand, if you are a graphic designer or programmer, then the laptop should have the best possible processor and graphics card. Here you have to quickly take some more money into your hands
  • Battery life: If you really want to work anytime and anywhere, then the lack of power supply shouldn't be a problem for a certain time. So make sure that your laptop has the advantage of having the largest possible battery. This should last at least six hours without an external power supply, so that you can get through a full working day with it. Of course, the actual battery life also depends on what you want to do with your laptop and how much the device has been used
  • Security & Privacy: A laptop can be stolen much faster than a desktop PC. The data on it is also at risk. You should therefore secure them as well as possible and protect them with backups so that theft would not have too fatal an impact. Data security is also at risk because you may be logging into different networks more often. So only use secure connections and protect yourself with a VPN
  • Ergonomics: An external screen is usually around head height when you're seated. If you now decide to only work from the laptop, you also have to consider that this ergonomic advantage is lost. So you have to do something else to ensure that your neck and back are not unhealthily bent - you have to take precautions for this
  • Environment - If you only work with a laptop and may not have a permanent office, then you should think about where you want to work beforehand. Otherwise it could quickly become a problem and you may have trouble concentrating. So think about where you can do your job

Even from home you can only work with the laptop . This has the advantage that you may not need a separate study, but can always sit wherever there is space. Are you still looking for suitable equipment for your study ? Then take a look at the desqup website . In addition to ergonomic sitting and standing stools, you will also find the desqup Pro , a height-adjustable desk with all important functions .

Conclusion: For whom is working only with a laptop an advantage?

Working with just a laptop is for the self-employed and people who have been given that freedom by their employer. Not every activity can be done from the laptop, some employers still insist on a permanent workplace in the company . However, if this is not the case, then this free way of working can be an option for you.

Whether the working style of the digital nomad is something for you also depends on whether you need a lot of quiet to work. For example, if you are a programmer and you need to be very focused on your task, you might feel too uncomfortable in a coworking space. Computing power can also become a problem, because laptops with good processors and high-performance graphics cards are very expensive.

But if you have the opportunity to do your work from anywhere and anytime, then you should do it. The freedoms that result from this are huge and you have more time for yourself, your hobbies and your family . In addition, you have no costs for a lot of technology , office space or other material - so think about doing your work only on the laptop from now on.
