Got a flight to catch for your business trip, but you’re still clueless about what business travel gadgets to carry? Don't worry; we’ve got your back. 

Let's look at the work travel essentials that will help you stay connected to colleagues and help you keep up with productivity.

9 Work Travel Essentials to Help You Stay Productive 

Laptop 

Laptops are our first choice when it comes to business trips. After all, they’re portable and easy to carry as compared to desktop computers. 

For frequent travel, it’s best to Invest in a lightweight laptop that has a smaller on-the-go screen.

Portable monitor 

A portable monitor is one of the best business travel essentials, as it's lightweight and easy to carry around. These lightweight monitors offer you the productivity benefits of a multi-screen setup without sacrificing mobility.

You can easily attach the monitors to your device and get an extra screen while adding a negligible amount of weight to your luggage. You won’t have to worry about hauling around a large piece of technology. 

Slim portable monitors are also super easy to pack in a carry-on, allowing you to be productive on flights and during layovers. The Mobile Pixels DUEX Lite weighs only 1.3 lbs and is one of the best options for a portable monitor. 

Noise-canceling headphones 

We understand how noisy and distracting airports and hotels can be when you’re trying to dial in. Thus, noise-canceling headphones are the right fit if you have to attend to important calls, finish a last-minute task, or anytime you want to avoid distractions. You can easily tune into work meetings remotely while blocking out the background noise.

Foldable Keyboard 

A smaller and more portable desktop keyboard won't weigh you down, but can surely help you stay productive throughout the trip. It’s best to invest in a keyboard with Bluetooth capabilities, so you don't have to worry about carrying many cords and can easily stay more focused with a less cluttered on-the-go workspace.

Mobile Pixels’ foldable keyboard is one of the best pieces of business travel technology. It’s compact and can easily slip inside your backpack, purse, or carry-on bag. The best part is you can connect it to all Bluetooth wireless devices. 

Portable hard drive 

Keeping all your important files and documents organized can help you focus more on your work. When choosing your hard drive, you should consider the storage and size as it pertains to your needs. 

With today’s data storage technology, you’d be surprised to know how much a device the size of a cell phone can store! 

Portable Mouse 

This business travel gadget comes in handy and doesn't occupy much space either. We’d recommend investing in a Bluetooth mouse instead of a wired device to eliminate the hassle of wires getting tangled or lost during travel.

This portable mouse weighs only 33g and has a built-in laser pointer. It’s a game-changer when it comes to your on-the-go workspace. 

Mini wifi hotspot 

It’s helpful to invest in a wifi hotspot to ensure that you can always access your emails and other spaces of the internet, especially if you’re traveling to a more remote location. In the case of urgent client calls and last-minute work emergencies, a wifi hotspot can save you from the hassle and keep you connected virtually at all times. 

Privacy screen filter 

We understand how sensitive or confidential your business data can be. Considering how crowded airports are, we can't affect how many people are around us. However, we can keep the data safe with a privacy screen filter. It’s perfect for shielding personal data while still being able to view your screen.

This privacy screen filter offers 6 layers of protection and can reduce the risk of virtual hacking or theft of your confidential information. 

Power bank 

The last thing you'd need on the business trip is your phone or laptop running out of battery when all your important data is stored in it.

Make sure to carry a power bank to keep your devices powered while you’re traveling. It’s great as a backup power supply in airports or on flights.
