So many people now work remotely or travel a great deal as part of
their jobs, that things like printers, computers and scanners need to be
portable. It’s no longer acceptable to have everything set up and static in one
office: people need access to computers and equipment from anywhere, around the
clock. The need for portable scanners has grown as more and more people work
mainly from a laptop and expect their entire ‘office’ to be portable. Companies
have acknowledged the need and have come up with a series of good quality, portable scanners that can be tucked in a bag or
briefcase and used while working on the move. Here’s a selection of the best on
the market:
