10 Sleek Portable Scanners You Can Buy
Have you ever been in a situation when you needed to send or share some sort of information that is available only in printed form, such as from a magazine or newspaper? Snapping a photo with your smartphone could work but for some phones, the resolution is terrible. Why not use a portable scanner instead?
Many modern mobile scanners have features traditionally found on desktop document scanners. The difference is that they are lightweight and easy to take along with you. With the aid of portable scanners, any person on-the-go can easily manage business cards, statements, invoices, and any other documents they need to digitize.
Here I have put together the best, handy and sleek-looking portable scanners of the new age, aimed to make your life a little easier. Let’s take a look.
