The Best Tech Gadgets for Working on the Go

Posted on by

If your New Year’s goal is to be more productive at work, you need to figure out how to achieve it, no matter where you are or what you’re doing. In a post-pandemic world, sometimes you have to work in an office. Sometimes you work from home. Sometimes you work from a mysterious third location, hopefully with a lot of sun (or at least good coffee). Whether it’s by the pool, on a plane, or at your favorite coffee shop, there are gadgets that can help you be more productive without compromising your job security.

Laptop shade

A laptop shade does two things: it allows you to work in a bright area (like a park bench) and it prevents anyone nearby from seeing what you’re doing. There are quite a lot of options in different price categories. You can try a sun visor and protective case that doubles as a bag for $79.99, or a simple visor with clip for $22.99.

Keep the sun away from the screen:

Folding keyboard

The foldable keyboard lets you type on your phone, tablet, or other device with the ease of a laptop. Try the well-reviewed Samsers version , or opt for a luxury aluminum model from Aluratek .

Give your mobile device a full keyboard:

Portable travel table

You don’t have to literally keep your laptop on your lap if you’re commuting to work or somewhere else. Try the iSwift Pi Portable Travel Desk , which folds into different configurations to give you room to move while you work, or the UpperTEK Portable Desk with a retractable mouse pad.

Bring your desk with you:

Portable laptop charger

Portable chargers have long been a must-have for your phone, but they often don’t have the power (or the right inputs) needed to speed up your computer. The SinKeu 24000mAh 88.8Wh portable charger with a standard socket will solve this problem for you. Wander as far as you want.

Dress up your laptop without a power outlet:

Wireless scanner

“Work from anywhere” conjures up images of lounging by the pool, but if you want to get your paperwork done wherever you are, invest in a wireless document scanner like the Epson WorkForce ES-50 to keep your business moving forward.

A scanner that will work anywhere:

Mini smart notepad

If you need to write something down while you’re on the go, try the miniature version of the popular Rocketbook smart laptop. They make a mini spiral notebook that you can buy for $16 that lets you write on erasable pages and download your handwritten work directly to your devices. Or try Amazon’s Kindle Scribe , a version of their popular e-reader that also functions as a smart notepad.

Take smarter notes, literally:

Multiport adapter

Wherever you are, you need to make sure that everything you need to use can actually be used. Think about everything you need to connect to your computer, from chargers for other devices to SD cards and everything in between. To make sure you don’t get confused on the road, take a multiport adapter.

Connect all your devices on the go:

Board on the desktop

When working remotely, even on the road , you still need to write down ideas and keep everything visible while you work. Try a tiny desk board that can hold your phone or tablet and opens up to reveal other office supplies. It’s perfect for traveling and keeping organized, and it comes with four markers and an eraser.

Stay organized with quick notes:

Phone mount

The nature of work these days means that your efforts are often split between devices. If you need to access something on your phone, it’s annoying to have to look at it in your lap or constantly pick it up. Attach it to your computer even in public places with the easy-to-use magnetic mount. This will also allow you to use your phone for video calls if your camera quality is better there.

Look at your phone while you work:

Portable back massager.

Working on a computer screen is awkward no matter where you are, so bring a portable neck massager with you. It doesn’t matter how many people are in the coffee shop with you, it’s none of their business whether you’re comfortable.
