If you're a businessperson who travels frequently, you know the importance of having top-notch portable equipment that lets you set up shop wherever you may be. The nucleus of any mobile business is the laptop. We've selected the IBM ThinkPad X40, one of our all-time favorite ultraportable business laptops, with a winning combination of portability, power, and battery life. For added comfort and usability, we like to carry a portable notebook mouse; our favorite is the Logitech V500 Cordless Notebook Mouse. The Canon i80 offers the perfect balance of functionality and compact size for an on-the-go printing station. To keep in touch with the home office or with family and friends while on the road, we recommend a Webcam that's compatible with instant-messaging services--the Logitech QuickCam for Notebooks Pro--and for business calls, we recommend Skype's VoIP software, which lets you to make calls using your Internet connection. And to carry all of this around, we like the Casauri New Portfolio laptop bag, which has plenty of room for all of these extras, along with your everyday work tools, such as your cell phone and PDAs and a USB Flash drive, which you'll need, too.
