Having the right gear makes a big difference in staying productive, whether working remotely or on the go. I keep my everyday tech setup simple, lightweight, and efficient. Everything I carry serves a purpose, and I avoid unnecessary extras. Here’s what I use and why.

A Compact but Spacious Bag
The TomToc bag is one of my remote work essentials. It’s compact, but it holds everything I need without feeling cramped. The internal layout keeps things organized, so I don’t have to dig for cables or accessories. It also has enough padding to protect my gear without adding extra weight.
My Primary Work Device: MacBook Air (13-inch)
The MacBook Air (13-inch) is my go-to laptop. It’s powerful enough for everything I do, yet light enough to carry anywhere. The battery life is excellent, so I don’t have to worry about constantly finding a power outlet.
I’ve tested other laptops, but the MacBook Air is the best work travel tech based on performance, size, and portability. For work or travel gear, it just works.
Why the iPad Pro (11-inch) Didn’t Work for Me
I’ve tried using the iPad Pro (11-inch) as a laptop replacement. I love its size, and the form factor is great. But for my workflow, it falls short.
The biggest issue? Google Suite. Since most of my work relies on Google Docs, Sheets, and other cloud-based tools, I need full functionality. The iPad doesn’t quite deliver the same experience as a laptop. It’s great for reading, note-taking, or sketching, but when it comes to deep work, MacBook is the best work travel tech.
A Tech Pouch That Holds Everything
The Tech Pouch is one of my most useful remote work essentials. It’s compact but holds a surprising amount of gear. Inside, I carry:
- Charging cables for all my devices
- Pens and pencils for quick notes
- AirPods for calls and focus time
- A full battery pack for when I can’t find an outlet
Even when fully packed, my work and travel gear compress down, so it doesn’t take up too much space. It keeps all my small accessories in one place, so I never have to search for cables at the bottom of my bag.
