Top 15 Business Travel Gadgets
Portable Monitor: Lenovo ThinkVision LT1421 / LT1423
There’s nothing better than having a second monitor at your desk for multitasking, so why not get the same productivity on the road? I always pack the 14-inch Lenovo LT1421 in my bag and use it as a second screen. For instance, I can edit a photo on one desktop while I write a news article on the other. Because the 1366 x 768 resolution monitor weighs just 1.6 pounds and gets power and data over a single USB connection, I can carry it in my bag and use it in the press center, my hotel room or anywhere I have access to a desk.
Later this spring, Lenovo is coming out with a new-and-improved model named the ThinkVision LT1423. For $349, the 13.3-inch LT1423 weighs the same as its older brother but provides a sharp 1600 x 900 display and touch / pen support. A wireless version will follow in the summer for $449.

A good smartphone comes first.

Thank you for posting on these great gadgets, Avram! I travel all over the world for my job at DISH, and I am always looking for any gadgets or apps that might make my life a little easier. I think I might be picking up one of those Monster Travel outlets, and a pair of those DBEST speakers before my next trip. Now my favorite travel gadget is one that actually stays home connected to my DISH Hopper DVR. It’s a DISH Sling Adapter, and I can use it to stream live TV or DVR recordings from my Hopper to my phone over the internet. I have stayed in some hotels that don’t offer many channels or movies, but that isn’t a problem now that I can carry all of mine with me.

What is CES? A store? Where? No reference as to what it is….

CES? C’mon, man! “As tech journalists . . . CES is the Superbowl.” Anyone who is interested in computer technology and does not somehow simultaneously live in a cave, cut off from all news of current events, would have to know that CES is the Consumer Electronics Show, on of the larget Trade Shows of any kind, and certainly THE big event in Consumer Electronics each year.

I’d personally like to see more of the waterproof, weatherproof kind of gadgets (the Sony Android tablet one was exciting, too bad someone screwed up the waterproofing part). Kind of hard to work on the beach when you’ve got flying sand getting into the nooks and crannies of your computer to worry about!
