It’s good to get out of the house to do your work. Here are 5 places where can move your portable laptop office.

1. Starbucks

Big suprise right? Everyone’s favorite coffee house, where paying $4 for an iced mocha latte is not only acceptable, but hip. The big comfy green chairs, aroma of fresh brewed coffee, and light jazz music playing makes this one of my favorite enviroments to work in.

If you dont want to contract a virus, you can sit at the large tables they have with outlets right next to them, so you can plug your power hogging machine into them.

The only downside is you DO have to pay for the wi-fi at Starbucks. I believe they charge around $3.99 for 2 hours a day, or $20 a month. You can purchase a giftcard though if your an avid Starbucker, and register it online. If you use the giftcard at LEAST once a month, your entitled to 2 free hours of wi-fi per day. If you go there all the time, just load up how much you spend monthly on a Starbucks giftcard. Win-win baby!

2. McDonalds

Don’t worry your not going to grease all over your keyboard. McDonalds is actually a very inviting place to do work. If you go early, or later in the afternoon there isn’t too many annoying children running around.

They also have very delicious coffee and iced coffee to keep you focused.

Oh yea, FREE Wi-Fi! Not to mention most McDonalds upgraded and arn’t shitty inside anymore. Just dont’ eat the Big Macs.

3. The Mall

The mall, I said it! Believe it or not there are lots of malls which offer free Wi-Fi. There are many places in a mall where you can setup HQ. If your mall has an Apple store, there are usually big comfy chairs outside it, where you can pick up free Wi-Fi from the Apple Store.

If your whole mall offers wi-fi, take shop in the food court. Grab some food, and get to work! A variety of places to eat, sit, and just get out of the house or office!

4. Barns N Noble

Select Barns N Noble locations are supposed to have AT&T Wi-Fi. I’m not sure if its free or not, I’m reckoning that it is from what I picked up. Barns N Noble is the IDEAL location to work on some designing.

Big comfy chairs, a nice relaxed silent enviroment, and a shit ton of books to help you out. Imagine how nice that is, pull out a book, and follow along while you have your laptop next to you, without having to buy it!

If you can find a B&N location that offers free Wi-Fi, please post here and let us know!

5. Your house?

Yea basically I just ran out of places to go. Your house is a lot better then the office im guessing. Get up early before everyone else, make some coffee, set up shop at the kitchen table, open the blinds, let that light SHINE in on your freshly shaven beard. (this applies to males only, i hope.).

You can eat for free, drink for free, get free internet. You can even sit around in your underwear and work.

Now thats some privacy!
