20 Ways Successful People Use Tech Differently Than Poor People

14. They Use Laptops

Out of the survey participants, 83% of highly successful people owned a laptop, while only 57% owned a desktop. Obviously, this adds up to over 100%, so there was an overlap of people who owned both. As we mentioned earlier, successful people tend to travel more, so using a laptop is crucial for their productivity. You’re also more likely to see hard-working motivated people working on their laptop at a cafe or library.

When asked what type of technology they prefer, successful people said they prefer Apple. So it’s most likely that they own a Macbook Pro or a Macbook Air. The great thing about Apple laptops is that they are such high-quality machines that you can own them for a minimum of five years. They also still work well when you buy them secondhand.
