Know what type of transportation you will have available and how often you will have to work while traveling.

The following are my recommendations for local travelers:

Type of Laptop:
A thin and light laptop will offer you the power you need no matter the task at hand. Larger displays are available in this category and can be useful when you need to share information.

Thin and light laptops weigh more than 4 pounds but are less than 7 pounds. They are well suited to local travelers and will have plenty of options so you can be productive on the road.

Mobile Accessories:
External storage to protect and share data, printers and scanners will be useful mobile gadgets for local travelers.

Laptop stands are handy, especially if you don’t have a dedicated home office space. A portable laptop stand will be useful while traveling. If you will be working often from your vehicle then a vehicle laptop desk is worth considering.
