The Essential Notebook Accessory Guide

Posted on August 23, 2005 by Jonas Review Editor

Introduction

In order to get the most productivity on the road, it’s important to bring along your notebook and its accessories. There are miles of aisles of accessories in every electronics store and mass merchandiser, and gigabytes of gadgets at online retailers. However, even the most Herculean among us can carry only so much weight, and even the largest notebook bag has just so much space.

Of course, I always get behind the guy at the airport with the largest notebook bag at the airport. The laptop bag is larger than my checked Samsonite pilot case, and is busting at the seams. It takes him forever to clear security as they have to run it through the scanner three times and open everything up to ID everything Believe me, if there was a bomb in there, this guy would never even be able to get to it among all the other stuff. And also, he puts it above me filling up the entire overhead compartment over our heads on the Boeing 767. To him, please read this article, and figure out what you can leave home!

This comes on the heels of the company’s Monday release of version 2.0 of Google Desktop, which is getting some good reviews. The Times cites several sources apparently familiar with the service, claiming it has been in a testing phase for at least a month.

With IM veterans AOL, Yahoo! and Microsoft entrenched, it’s not unlikely that Google will incorporate some type of voice service into their client as an added incentive for people contemplating switching. Given the constant stream of news about VOIP these days, I wouldn’t be too surprised. Then again, whatever Google touches seems to turn to gold. We’ll all just have to wait and see.
