If you are on the go, then you have to be able to get up and go quickly. A great backpack can either burden you or be your best companion. Take our Brenthaven example above. Brenthaven is based out of Seattle (we love local!) and they make great looking products.
If you are on the road a lot due to sales or business presentations, you will want to make sure you carry around several video adapters. Video compression and streaming has evolved very quickly over the past few years. Ports have gone from VGA to DVI to HDMI. DisplayPort and Thunderbolt have also made their way into laptops and high-end projectors.

All hail the modern day mobile warrior! These employees are on the go, along with their workstations and their projects. Every flat surface is their workspace and any wifi hotspot is their connection back to headquarters. We salute you for crushing your to-do list while ordering a latte at Starbucks or waiting for your next flight.
I am!
