[Digital Nomad Essentials] How to Choose the Right Slim Laptop: ASUS, Acer, MSI

The slim type laptops are really aesthetically pleasing and include one key feature that its users enjoy, the portability. Remote work is a lifestyle that's not necessary popular to most people but it does have other advantages that some people do not have with their office-based job.

One major advantage of remote work is that you can work anywhere you want as long as you have a secure connection and a comfortable working space. This is best done with a laptop that can easily be carried around rather than a laptop that is heavy and bulky.

The slim type laptops were created for a lot of reasons but the portability of this laptop has become extremely useful to those digital nomads. The light weight of the laptop combined with the great performance is perfect for those who are on the run.

Although it may sound easy picking out a slim laptop, there are a few things you have to make sure of before you purchase one.

Here are a few things to think about:

Size

If your job requires a little more focus on the artistic and graphical side, you might need yourself a bigger screen but if your job only requires content, maybe a smaller screen would be even more portable as well as lighter.

Specs

Although everyone wants the latest this and the more powerful that, you have to be a little bit more practical and think what is more important. Is having a big memory the priority? Is having better graphics? Or is having a faster computer RAM speed?

Price

Don't break your budget trying to get yourself the best slim laptop out there even if you wouldn't need it. Canvas the average prices of slim laptops and give yourself a budge. Don't try to make a far out budget where you won't be able to buy anything. Instead, try making a realistic budget where you're sure to find something that would make you happy.

Once you factor in these three pointers, you'll be able to pinpoint the perfect slim laptop for your digital nomad lifestyle. Here are a few of the best slim laptops from ASUS, Acer, and MSI.
