Key Buying Decisions

Weight vs capability

Every item must earn its place in the bag. Prioritise multi-use gear — a USB-C hub, a portable monitor, and a PD power bank cover most needs.

Power and connectivity

Plan how you will charge and connect: a laptop power bank plus mobile Wi-Fi keep you working anywhere.

FAQ

What is the most useful travel work accessory?

A good USB-C hub and a PD power bank deliver the biggest productivity gain for their weight, followed by a portable monitor.

How do I stay secure on public Wi-Fi?

Use a travel router or VPN and your own mobile hotspot where possible, rather than connecting devices directly to public networks.
