When you own an Apple^® device like a MacBook^®, traveling with it can sometimes be stressful. They’re valuable electronics, so keeping them safe is a priority. This is particularly true when the MacBook is something you use for work. Whether it’s company property or your personal computer, traveling with a MacBook for business can come with a certain set of challenges and concerns.

How to Travel With a MacBook for Business

1. Back Up & Store Data

Before leaving for your trip, accept that it could get lost or stolen. On top of losing the Apple device itself, you don’t want to lose all of the important business data and information you had stored on it. Before leaving, back up information to the iCloud^® and a USB device. 

2. Be Mindful in Airports

When you’re traveling with a MacBook or any type of Apple device for business, one of the places you have to be particularly careful at is the airport. When going through airport security lines, you’re forced to empty the electronics into a bin. While you don’t want to assume the worst of people, it’s not impossible for someone else in line to end up walking away with your laptop. Once you’re on the plane, never leave it out of sight, even to use the restroom.

3. Invest in a Laptop Backpack

Consider purchasing a case for your laptop, which makes it less likely you will leave it somewhere you shouldn’t. Plus, this helps keep it safe from other items in your carry-on bag or luggage that could damage it. It even makes it more comfortable and convenient to travel from hotel to hotel.
