The Mobile Office Essentials

With the assumption that everyone views a mobile phone is an essential item for not just business but life in general, we have left the phone out of the list but added peripherals that will connect the mobile phone with other gadgets.

Laptop- the right one for you

Having used a number of laptop brands for different organisations and personal ones, the advantage i can say with my personal laptop is its ability to synchronise files i am working on , on my phone with the laptop. Why is this important? if you are looking for a wide angle view for working with spreadsheets for example, the synchronicity is essential. so you can airdrop file between the phone and the laptop and vice versa.

If you can not air drop or use mirroring to view files on a bigger screen, why not use adapters

Connection Hubs

A hub like the one above can connect various devices to a laptop . This example has a USB C connection and it will connect to a laptop with USB C port like a Macbook. However any laptop will have a connection point that suits a particular type of hub connection. -So one like this one can be used to :

  • Charge a Phone with USB or USB -C port.
  • Connect a wireless mouse
  • Connect Laptop to an external monitor with HDMI code like this one.
  • Connect Laptop to an external screen with a VGA Code like this one.
  • Download files from camera
  • Charge wearables e.g apple watch

So here you have functionality , light weight and effectiveness. but may be , not so much sleek. However, if a touch of style is important, then wireless gadgets are an option.

  1. A Flexible Wireless Keyboard

Needless to say the flexibility makes them portable and easy to pack, but when flying ,especially if you are not in business class , the limited space means you can use this keyboard. Its the get up and go type of keyboard that will go on the back pack

2. Connectable watches

From picking calls when your hands are full (which is more often the case for some of us when travelling), to connecting train tickets ,flight boarding passes , bank cards to the watch, the versatility is vast.

In Conclusion devices that enable you to work across multiple places through synchronisation, mirroring etc are good for their multi functionality.

The smaller gadgets add easiness when travelling and the top tier brands add sleek to the function and atleast at face value impress your clients.
