    Frequently asked questions

    Which ports should a travel laptop have for working in the Netherlands?

    USB-C with charging and display support is useful for compact travel setups, while USB-A, HDMI and an SD card reader can reduce the need to carry adapters. Check the exact configuration before buying, as ports vary by model.

    How much battery life do I need for train travel in the Netherlands?

    For a long journey or a day moving between meetings, look for a laptop that can manage several hours of real work away from a socket. Bright screens, video calls and demanding apps can reduce battery life compared with manufacturer claims.

    Is a 17-inch or 18-inch laptop practical to carry while travelling?

    Large displays can make spreadsheets and creative work more comfortable, but these laptops take up more bag space and can be heavier to carry. Check the laptop’s weight and dimensions alongside your bag and travel routine.

    How much RAM and storage should I choose in a laptop over €2,000?

    For demanding creative work or heavy multitasking, 32 GB of RAM is a sensible target, while lighter workloads may need less. Choose storage based on your files and apps, and consider whether you can expand it later.
