The Best Tech for Business Travelers

For business travelers, the right tech can make all the difference between a smooth, productive trip and a frustrating one. Whether you’re zipping through airports, setting up in hotels, or joining virtual meetings on the go, having reliable technology can keep you connected, organized, and efficient. Here’s a list of must-have tech essentials that every business traveler should consider packing for their next trip.

1. Lightweight Laptop or Tablet

A lightweight laptop or a powerful tablet is a must for business travelers who need to work on the go. Models like the MacBook Air or Microsoft Surface Pro provide excellent performance without weighing you down. Look for devices with long battery life, lightweight design, and enough processing power to handle presentations, document editing, and video calls seamlessly.

2. Portable Charger or Power Bank

Nothing disrupts productivity like running out of battery, especially when you’re in transit. A reliable power bank, like the Anker PowerCore series, can be a lifesaver. Choose one with a high capacity (at least 10,000mAh) to keep your phone, tablet, or other essential devices charged for hours. This is especially handy if you’re moving between meetings or in areas where outlets aren’t easily available.

3. Noise-Canceling Headphones

Business travel often means working in noisy environments, from bustling airports to busy hotel lobbies. Noise-canceling headphones, like the Sony WH-1000XM5 or Bose QuietComfort 45, are ideal for blocking out background noise and helping you focus. They’re also perfect for taking calls or tuning into virtual meetings with clear sound quality, even in loud settings.

4. Portable Wi-Fi Hotspot

Staying connected is crucial, and depending solely on hotel or public Wi-Fi can be risky. A portable Wi-Fi hotspot, such as the Skyroam Solis or TP-Link M7350, lets you access secure, high-speed internet from virtually anywhere. It’s particularly useful in areas with unreliable connectivity and ensures that your sensitive business information stays secure.

5. Compact All-in-One Travel Adapter

A universal travel adapter that includes USB ports is essential for international business travelers. The Epicka Universal Travel Adapter or Zendure Passport II Pro offer compatibility with outlets worldwide, allowing you to charge multiple devices simultaneously. Having one reliable adapter keeps you covered in almost any country and saves space in your luggage.

6. Smart Luggage or Luggage Tracker

Smart luggage options like the Away Carry-On with a built-in charger can keep you powered on the go, while Apple AirTags or Tile Mate trackers help you locate your bags in case they get misplaced. These travel tools are especially useful for business travelers who frequently check bags or rely on carry-ons packed with valuable items.

7. Portable Scanner

If your work involves handling contracts, invoices, or other documents on the go, a portable scanner like the Doxie Go SE or apps like Adobe Scan can turn your phone into a mobile scanner. With these tools, you can quickly scan, store, and send documents securely without needing access to a traditional scanner, saving you time and hassle.

8. Bluetooth Keyboard and Mouse

For those who prefer a tablet for travel but need the functionality of a laptop, a Bluetooth keyboard and mouse can make all the difference. Compact and easy to pack, options like the Logitech K380 keyboard and MX Anywhere 3 mouse provide a comfortable typing and navigation experience, making long work sessions far more manageable.

9. Multi-Device Charging Cable

Instead of carrying multiple cables, consider a multi-device charging cable like the InCharge 6 or Native Union Belt Cable. These cables come with multiple connectors (USB-C, Lightning, and Micro USB) on a single cable, keeping you prepared for any device that needs charging without cluttering your bag.

10. Cloud Storage Services

Finally, don’t overlook the importance of software solutions that keep you organized and prepared. Cloud storage options like Google Drive or Dropbox allow you to store and access important documents from anywhere, making it easy to pull up a file on the fly. Combined with robust security settings, these services make it easy to keep critical data accessible and safe.
